Amelia's practice of Wicca marks her as a curiosity both at home and at school. Knowing how to see auras, heal, and cast spells comes naturally to her. Only Madame Knightly, the ancient matriarch and owner of Witch Wood Estate, doesn't seem to mind.

When modern treatments fail to make a dent in the flu outbreak sweeping the globe, those who once ridiculed Amelia's white witchcraft turn to her for help. While her eucalyptus tinctures prove no more effective than western medicine, her spell-casting is another matter.

The residents of Brighton may soon depend on the very magic they once ridiculed to save their lives.
