When 18-year-old Anais Barnes's mother, Narise, mysteriously vanishes, her family's world is upended. Almost a year later her father, Nasir a half witch, half witch hunter moves Anais and her younger brother, Nasim, from Brooklyn to Baton Rouge in search of answers. But the truth is far more dangerous than Anais ever imagined. In Louisiana, Anais discovers her mother's powerful magical lineage and enrolls at Prudence University, a secret HBCU for witches, where she can safely explore her abilities. As she reconnects with her mother's side of the family, a tight-knit clan of witches with unique powers. Anais learns that Narise wasn't just an extraordinary witch; she was also one of the last to master every magical ability, a gift that made her a target of the Sons of Jefferson, a secretive group of witch hunters, some of whom are related to her own father. As Anais grapples with her growing powers, the pressure of her bloodline, and the shadow of the dark magic in her father's heritage, she begins to uncover secrets that may lead to her mother's safe return, her family's destruction, or maybe even the whole school. Bound by love, legacy, and the battle between light and shadow, Anais must embrace her destiny before it's too late. With the help of her family, new friends, and a new found love she must race an unknown timeline to make her family whole again. This is a tale of magic, resilience, romance, and self-discovery, where family ties are tested, and the fate of generations hangs in the balance.
