It isn't as though Trisha doesn't try to be a normal teenage girl. She really does. But something happened to her before she moved to her new town, something she hasn't dared tell anyone else. Something unbelievable. Something that's made it clear to her that she is not quite average. And neither are a group of kids that she's met at her new school. They seem to be mostly focused on starting a new after-school club. But sometimes they talk about strange things, like ghosts and paranormal beings.

Most of the time, Agnes and Harriet are well aware of unusual happenings in the magical world. Not this time.

Suddenly, Harriet fell to her knees. “Kizee, No!” Agnes felt the high power of magic vibrate through her. She saw her sister fall to her knees. “I felt it too,” said Agnes as she helped Harriet up.
