"After seven long years Joan Greenwood is finally returning home. Unfortunately, no one reminded her family. The outcast daughter of a powerful family of witches, Joan's homecoming is lukewarm at best, but soon turns disastrous when news hits that someone has created a spell that can turn an unmagical human into a powerful witch, threatening the balance of the magical world and the Greenwood's place at the top of it. When her best friend confesses that he has secretly, accidentally, saved this human-turned-witch from an uncertain fate, Joan is thrust headfirst into a desperate race to undo the spell before it does permanent damage to its unwilling host. Soon, Joan finds herself drawn deeper into the heart of the city's magic, into an uncertain alliance with a (very attractive) family rival, and far beyond the limits of everything she thought her own magic capable of"-- Provided by publisher.
