Dusty Hotte must be cursed. First she lost her job then her house caught fire. On the same day. There are worse things than starting over at 50, though. Right? But when someone threatens her granddaughter's life, enough is enough.Seeking safety, she brings them to Blackwood Grove, her hometown where witches can be themselves and perform magic at will - even elderly witches like Dusty's aunts whose magic has gone a bit wonky lately. Inside this safe town, and especially within the hedge surrounding her family's enchanted farm, nothing can harm them.Or so she thought.

Minutes after they arrive, a man is found dead, and her cousin is wrongfully accused of murder. Things like this don't happen here. Ever.Did Dusty bring the curse with her, or is something more sinister at play?.
