‘Charming and utterly unputdownable’ Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

AM Kvita’s charming debut introduces New York’s most powerful family of witches – and a world of secrets, spells and supernatural shenanigans.

After seven long years, Joan Greenwood is coming home.

Unfortunately, her family totally forgot about it.

Overshadowing her return is the news that someone has created a spell that can turn an ordinary human into a powerful witch, threatening the Greenwoods’ place at the top of the magical world. When her best friend confesses that he has secretly, accidentally kidnapped this human-turned-witch, Joan is thrust headfirst into a desperate race against her family to undo the spell before it does permanent damage to its unwilling host.

Welcome home Joan Greenwood.
