When three friends attend their high school reunion, they have varying expectations for the evening. Surrounded by the people they knew years ago—some who have changed, and some who definitely haven't—is just as much fun as it sounds. They're about to head out early when a bright light encompasses the school. Chaos ensues as a Hell gate opens in the middle of the gymnasium, and powers they never knew they had come to life. This is the start of a new paranormal women's fiction series featuring three main female characters taking turns narrating the story. Welcome to Wellspring, NV...otherwise known as Hell. Prologue 11:17 p.m. in Crowder, Maine (three hours ahead of Wellspring, Nevada) A necromancer walked into Purgatory to rescue her daughter. No joke. Meredith Ellison, with her husband and ghostly friends, crossed the weakened membrane between our world and Purgatory after an unknown entity kidnapped her daughter. Meredith wasn’t having that... When the entity came at her again, Meredith didn’t resist its attempts to draw her in. Her focus was strictly on his lifesource, and she instantly connected to it. At the same time, she sent out a call to all the souls around her, her voice reverberating like a thundering bell through the meadow. “Join with him. Find his lifesource and drain it.” The entity seemed to final realize he was actually in danger. He began to fight against her, but Meredith’s power was so strong, being linked to those around her, that she almost laughed at his efforts. Suddenly, their positions were reversed and then some. She held on to the thing, whispering the excoriation spell that she’d memorized, as it dwindled. It wasn’t unraveling exactly, but rather, it seemed to be sending its energy to her as parts of it just ceased to exist. For a second, they were practically one, but not in the way the entity had envisioned. Meredith was the one completely in control, and with a single thought, she was able to tell the entity to no longer be. In a blink, it was gone. She was still reeling from that knowledge when she realized there was a giant amount of power consuming her. Strong as she was with the lifesources around her, she couldn’t contain it all and absorb it without being destroyed. Panic seized her for a second, but through all that, she could hear Hunter’s voice and feel his hand on her shoulder as he said, “Come back to me, Meredith.” He sounded terrified. His voice was what she needed to Chapter One Lily, 7:14 p.m. “Since we’re already late, we might as well forget the whole thing.” Skye Larson seemed poised to rush back to the rental car from which she’d just stepped, and Lily Wilder exchanged an exasperated glance with her friend Calista Dillard. Calista smiled and shook her head, making her naturally wavy black curls bounce around her head. Lily walked over to Skye on one side, and Calista took her other side, careful to avoid catching her hair in her ruby bracelet. They both put their arms through hers and started marching forward. “We didn’t fly all the way from Chicago back to this dump of a town just so you could change your mind once we’re here. You know we came for you, Skye, and it’s time to show the asshats inside whatever it is you wanted to prove to them.” For her part, Lily had nothing to prove. She’d been mostly invisible during her high school career, which had suited her just fine. She was a lot more outgoing these days, but she still had basically the same opinion of most of the people she had gone to school with, save for her two best friends—she couldn’t care less what they thought. “I think maybe this was a bad idea.” Skye’s already pale skin, nearly as light as her platinum hair, seemed to go another shade whiter. “I think I might throw up.” “No, you won’t,” said Calista sternly. She kept marching, not giving Skye a chance to stop to vomit or change her mind. She probably realized Skye might bolt if given the chance. Every step closer to their modest two-story high school made Lily feel dragged down. She had happily escaped Wellspring High School and the entire town after graduation twenty-five years ago and hadn’t bothered to come back since. She had lived with a great-aunt who had long since passed away, but they
