The small town of Craftborough was founded in 1718 as a haven where witches could escape persecution.  It became home to the first coven in North America, and established Saufgrove—an all-girls boarding school that specializes in teaching witchcraft. Olivia Oliversen, a young witch from a prestigious family, had the honor of growing up there. And she despises it. The first year of her apprenticeship to Jack Noctis is finished, and her coven has invited her back to give her report. Olivia never would’ve considered going, but one of her friends is missing. Big Jacky says that he’s still alive, but to save him, Olivia will have to do the one thing she’d hate most—swallow her pride and return to the home she swore she’d never go back to. As her master, Big Jacky has to come, but if Olivia wants the best hope of finding out what’s going on, she’ll also have to ask Emerra Cole for help. Make that the two things she’d hate most.
