In the sleepy town of Benton, Massachusetts, nothing extraordinary has ever happened to put it on the map, or make it on to the six o’clock news. A former resident of the town, Jolene is back when called on by friend Clare, who’s in need after the death of her husband. Not thrilled with the arrangement, Jo makes the best of a bad situation, but she can’t seem to stop stepping on toes. And Charlie Sokolsky, now going by Alfie, is a face she wants to avoid, but keeps coming across.
What’s worse than anything is Jolene is a witch, and not a particularly skilled one when it comes down to helping those she cares about. A strangeness is brewing, and a threatening blackness has slipped over Benton that the town has never seen. Alongside the strength of her friends, and a few enemies, Jolene will have to discover for the first time what it truly means to be a witch. She must grow to the height of her family’s powers, or face eternal suffering from the destructive force that is coming.
