Mildred Hubble is halfway through her fourth year when everything between her and Ethel Hallow begins to shift. Their rivalry has softened into something warm and unsettling, a pull that feels dangerously close to love. Ethel seems different too, softer in the quiet moments no one else notices, almost as if she is letting Mildred close.
Just when Mildred is ready to confess what she feels, everything changes. Ethel turns cold and distant overnight, as if every gentle moment has been erased. Maud and Enid insist that a Hallow never truly changes, yet Mildred cannot ignore the wrongness beneath Ethel's sudden cruelty, something that does not feel like her at all.
Then Agatha returns, and the school is thrown into chaos. The shock is worse when Ethel is revealed as the one who helped her. The betrayal cuts deep, leaving Mildred heartbroken and alone in her belief that something is terribly wrong.
What no one knows is that Ethel is cursed, trapped inside her own mind while Agatha controls her every move. Mildred refuses to accept the girl she loves has turned against them.
Saving the school is no longer enough.
This time Mildred must save Ethel Hallow before the curse destroys her completely.
