"Eclipse" is set in the real world, with the difference between the real world and the world of the novel being that, in the novel, witches and magick exist and play an influential role in things. The novel is set in Widow's Vale, New York, a small American town. The characters are a combination of regular humans, blood witches who were born to their magickal heritage and Alissa, the only known half witch to manifest significant powers.

Widow's Vale, NY is the main setting of "Eclipse", where the novel takes place. Widow's Vale is a small American town where Morgan and the other characters live. Ciaran sends a dark wave to Widow's Vale when Morgan refuses to join him, but Morgan, Alisa, Hunter and Daniel defeat the dark wave. Practical Magick is Alyce's occult bookstore where Morgan and Hunter visit her. While visiting Alyce, Morgan finds a green Book of Shadows that turns out to have belonged to Sarah Curtis, Alisa's mother. Morgan lives at the Rowlandses' house with her adoptive family. Alisa often visits Mary K and Morgan to avoid her father and Hilary, her father's twenty-five-year-old, pregnant fiancé. Sarah Curtis was from Gloucester, Massachusetts, and after learning her mother was a witch, Alisa realizes she may have living relatives in Gloucester. The Methodist Cemetery at the edge of town is where the local power sink is located, so this is where Morgan meets Ciaran, where Hunter and the others strip Ciaran of his powers and where Alisa confronts the dark wave. The local power sink, a gathering of power, is located in the old Methodist Cemetery at the edge of town. Morgan meets Ciaran at the power sink, and Hunter, Daniel, Alyce, Bethany and Silver join them to strip Ciaran of his powers. Later, Alisa, Morgan, Daniel and Hunter return to the power sink to cast the Nal Nithrac spell to defeat the dark wave sent by Ciaran and Amyranth.
