━━━━━━━━━━━━

Lucas, Alex and Evelyn Maganti are home for the summer, and that's really all there should be to it.

But Alyvir isn't quite the same as it was when they left. For one, Darcy's got a new friend, a non-witch boy who's just moved to town, and she's suddenly insisting that she doesn't want to go to school with her older siblings. For another, the twins keep having strange dreams, and Evelyn doesn't understand why they won't tell her anything about them.

So when their older sister Madison decides to investigate the lack of comings and goings from 13 Haven Street - because the kids who live there are meant to be going to stay with their grandparents for the summer - and drags her younger siblings along, the dead bodies they find are just the icing on the cake.

It's soon clear that someone's looking to start a fight between the witches and non-witches of Alyvir, but with everything else... it can't be entirely natural, right?

Join the Maganti siblings as they try to solve the murders before something much worse can happen to their home.
