Ashley Jenkins is a high school junior who lives in Staten Island with her family. She's written two books and is working on another - she enjoys that life. One morning as she's on the bus heading for school with her best friend Carly, Ashley sees two guys who take an interest in her and her friend. They meet the two men several more times, and what started out as a normal day ends with more questions than answer. This sequence is continued with Ashley looking for reasons why, as the two men try to make her life seem unbearable. It's not for nothing, though, as she learns that she has the power to see into the future. The men trying to set her off are Soldiers from the Other Side - a different family of sorceresses dating back centuries who are targeting Ashley because she is the General of the White Side. The powers Ashley possesses could bring down the Other Side - and they won't allow that to happen without a fight. As Ashley learns more about herself and others, the realization of how ruthless people can be sets in and threatens never to leave.
