Nicky Callahan is the daughter of a powerful warlock. She can’t wait to become a witch, but she is nearly eighteen and still has no magical powers. What seems really strange to her is that her witch parents don't seem to be worried at all.
On the first day of school, she notices a guy, too old to be a student. He watches her from afar – sometimes with a smirk, sometimes with a frown on his handsome face.
The question is – what does he want from her?
Her best friend Connie thinks it’s merely an innocent flirt, but something tells Nicky that the answer is more complicated than that.
