"Gaston is a sick and frail man, and with a family who often mock him for his supposed weaknesses, his life moves from one miserable moment to the next. Gaston is attacked, only to be saved by a young witch called Agatha. Little by little, the pair fall in love, neither of them having felt before the happiness they do when they're together. But with outside forces and their tempestuous natures to contend with, will their love be able to last?"--Publisher's description.
With her best friend Mackenna Reid now a permanent citizen of Doon, and her relationship with her prince and true love Jaime back on track, Veronica is certain things are finally right with her kingdom. Until she suddenly becomes ill, collapsing as the witch of Doon begins draining of her life. Desperate to save Veronica, Jamie will do anything--including casting a forbidden spell that trades his health for Vee's recovery. As Doon celebrates the queen's newfound health, Mackenna focuses on organizing a festival complete with theater productions. But just as her dream of bringing a musical to Doon comes to life, strange catastrophes begin to sweep the kingdom, and the once-unshakable Jamie's behavior is becoming more dangerous and erratic as well, and soon he and his brother, Duncan, are at serious and seeming irreparable odds. It is left to Vee and Kenna to rescue Jamie from himself--but in doing so, they could forever alter Doon and give the witch the power she's always craved.
In this conclusion to the Doon series by authors Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon, Veronica, Mackenna, Jamie, and Duncan must unite their divided kingdom across time, space, and incredible odds to defeat the vengeful witch--who will stop at nothing to keep her grasp on the throne.

When Duncan arrives with urgent news that Doon needs her, Kenna makes the decision to return, knowing the stakes are high. However, even if she can save the kingdom, her chance at a happily ever after remains uncertain.
