Hidden away on a secluded ranch, the Wiccan sisters hold their Coven retreat, searching for peace and communion with nature among the towering Buttes of Utah. The tranquility of their days is shattered when the girls begin to disappear like water under the sizzling desert sun. They are under attack by unknown forces and even their dreams will make them vulnerable. The Witch of Appalachia, Cathleen O’Brien, has been called upon to rescue the missing girls; if they still live. Searching among the ancient pillars that soar like giants rising from the sandy floor, brings the young Wizard face to face with Morgayne. This half lizard Demon is known in Celtic folklore as “The Queen of Rot”. Cathleen soon uncovers a devious scheme by one of the Coven’s own sisters. Her allegiance is now bound by blood to the Queen, whose evil has subverted her very soul. Helping Cathleen to locate the missing girls, her mother, Brighid, uses her “This and That” Magic to protect her untested daughter from the powerful Morgayne. Time is running out for the abducted girls. Soon, they will have only dark dreams in a never ending night.
