City Wizards.
Wizards in big cities who wear skinny jeans and flannel.
Who make pencils or pens out of their wands só they can hide them in plain sight.
Who get into back alley fights and charm guys harassing girls into having blue skin for the next week.
Who keep their cats in their pet-free flats by transfiguring them whenever their landlord stops in.
Who do street performances and participate in kids' parties for money and wink at little kids when they pocket their wands.
Who exchange secret smiles whenever they pass each other.
City. Wizards.
Liz Campbell seems to be a normal young woman who studies at Cambridge University and works at a bookshop on her breaks. And, sometimes, she's an entertainer at kids' parties.
But she usually leaves her flat at night, always carries with her a silver Parker pen, has a black and white cat called Mistoffelees (but nobody knows about it) and gets into a lot of street fights.
Lawrence Chambers is a young business man with a normal life. Well, until some street gang mistakes him for his drug dealer and he gets into some trouble. But he's saved by a mysterious girl, who has a strange silver pen, a cat (although her flat is pet-free), lots of problems with her toasty thing (toaster) and amazing violet eyes...

Bathsheba is on the hunt. As a witch's familiar, Bathsheba has duties to fulfill. The most sacred of these is the protection of her companion. While Bathsheba was cat napping in the sun her owner, Emilia, vanished. Bathsheba looked in all of the usual places. She checked the bedroom, the sun room, the laboratory. Emilia was simply gone. She waited for her to return all day and when she did not come home the following morning, Bathsheba knew that something was very, very wrong. So, she set out on a search of the city in hopes of finding her owner. Bathsheba looked in every nook and cranny that a cat could reach without even a sniff or a sign of where Emilia went.
Just as she is about to give up, she happens upon a place that smells so strongly of magic that it calls out to her. It is a charming little shop tucked into an unlikely spot between two skyscrapers in the middle of downtown. Traveling up the path to the front door will lead Bathsheba on an adventure that will take her through the city and introduce her to Rhiannon, a newly minted witch, who has only just learned what she can do and has no ability to control it.
Deciding to join forces, the two of them hunt for Emilia together. Along the way, they will overcome challenges not meant for a 16 year old girl and a cat to endure but what they will find in their search is pure magic.
