Since her mother's death, thirteen year old Gwen Gladstone's life has spiraled downwards. She's gone from popular girl to outcast and has been riddled with anxiety and depression. Her life takes a turn when her father suddenly marries a woman named Victoria Weatherly, and the three move to her home in Harmony, a small town in Northern California. Gwen quickly discovers that Victoria is no normal step-mother and the town of Harmony itself is just as mysterious and full of secrets as she is. But if Gwen can hold on, she'll learn that Harmony is a place where she can grow stronger and discover abilities she never knew she had.
