Seventeen-year old Joy Christianson is the life of the party.

But when her best friend commits suicide, Joy's already wavering faith slips completely out of reach - and darkness and depression lay claim  to her soul. A group of "friends" lead her to the Onyx, meant to help her let go of the past and bring her into harmony with reality, and Joy finds herself embarking on an ominous journey of witchcraft. Caught in a world of evil and shadows, Joy isn't so sure that there's' a way out and soon finds herself at a crossroads.

Will Joy find the hope and light her heart longs for? Or will her dejected soul remain forever in the shadows?
