Except for the fact that her gift of green magic has begun to fade – and, if that isn't enough to upset the balance of her life, a fateful run-in with another power-hungry witch with a penchant for stealing magic has threatened to bring it all to ruin.
Cast into an unexpected alliance with her dreadfully arrogant classmate, Aurelia goes into hiding among a peculiar family of witches, where she discovers that the secret to their safety requires breaking rules she has followed all her life: Make no promises. Tell no one what you are. And never stay the night.
