Before Dena Johnson knew what was hiding beneath Crimson’s pretty streets, she thought she’d simply found a strange little town where she could finally start over.

Then one late shift at Witchbrew changed everything.

Initiation takes place about a month after Dena arrives in Crimson and before the events of The Veils Between Them. It follows the night she gets her first real glimpse at the world that has been living around her all along.

If you’re new to Crimson, welcome.

If you’ve already been here a while, consider this a look back at the night Dena first realized just how weird this town really was.
