The International Council of Witches believes that an evil witch in New York City is preparing to sacrifice his son, but when Morgan goes there with Hunter, prompted by a dream, it becomes clear that she is the intended victim.
Morgan, a high-schooler who has been awakened to the power of Wicca, faces some difficult choices when she learns that she is adopted and that her birth parents were both witches.
Sparks begin to fly when Morgan--still grieving over Cal's betrayal--and Cal's half brother, Hunter, investigate the return of dark magick to Widow's Vale, but trouble brews when Hunter suspects one of Morgan's closest friends. Meanwhile, Morgan's haven, Practical Magick, may close down due to money troubles.
Sixteen-year-old Morgan is confused when she learns that she is a real, ancestral witch, her parents and sister are not her true family, and she is too powerful to belong to a coven.
