Mercy Taylor is the granddaughter of the matriarch of a powerful family of witches in Savannah, Georgia. However, she is without powers of her own because they were inherited by her vastly powerful fraternal twin Maisie. After the murder of her grandmother, Ginny, a new anchor must be found for "The Line", a network of powerful witch families which keep an evil power from exerting control. Mercy is in an emotional quandary about her feelings for her sister's boyfriend and consults Mother Jilo, a Hoodoo/Root Doctor with a grudge against Ginny, to help fix this problem. A variety of familial intrigues are revealed and Maisie turns against Mercy, ostensibly because of the boyfriend issue. The twists in the last couple chapters were unexpected but left the plot open for the second book in the trilogy, The Source. In my opinion this could almost be a YA series. The violence and sex contained in it are not of the graphic sort and are used to move the plot along.
