Out on her own at a young age, Rowan Oak didn't have many options open to her. Joining the force seemed the best of them at the time, and things hadn't gotten better since. With her career stalled, she worried that there weren't many opportunities still open to her. Not many chances to get back into her daughter's life. That is, until a spell worked for her unexpectedly.

The elements hadn't been responding to the covens. Not like they had for their ancestors when they first settled on the three ley lines that ran through Chicago. Rowan had been kicked out of two of the three covens, but she had always kept the goddess close to her heart. Kept to the faith that she was born to. With the elements seeming to awaken around her, Rowan started to worry that something else was going on. That something darker was coming around the corner. And when the Stones started dying on her, it was hard for her not to feel responsible for it all.
