The Awakening Jill Campbell

The cursed ones are back and this time they're stronger than they've ever been, thanks to The Awakening, a prophecy believed to be legend. Kallisto Craven has lived many centuries, she just isn't sure if any of it is real. She's been plagued with dreams her whole life, of family and friend that have been with her throughout the centuries. After one particularly heart-wrenching dream, she finds out they're all real. A witch, Serena, had killed them centuries ago and cursed their Celtic lines to fight for all eternity. The biological mother of Kallisto and her twin brother, Kalan, countered the curse, allowing them a way out by living and dying over and over again until they can break the curse. Kallisto and the other cursed members work to retrieve the last member, Talus--Kallisto's on true love--and free him from Serena, who cast a spell on him. After many failed attempts, Kallisto loses heart and decides to go on alone. She fights to break the bond between all of them so the others can live full lives and no longer be forced to live and die with her. Talus and Kallisto come together in a chance encounter, locking the curse in place, but she runs away, still determined to break the bond. The others do everything they can to bring her back, even playing chicken with a train. When they finally get her back, she's taken away once more by the now vengeful Serena, and they must race to save Kallisto before she becomes the witch's sacrifice ending the curse in such a way that could annihilate the cursed ones, and devastate the entire Irish and Scottish lines for all eternity.
