She believes she has hit rock bottom and things could only get better until her world is turned upside down by the news that her aunt Edith is dead. Popular opinion asserts that Edith had drowned but since witches cannot drown, the narrative seems a little bizarre.

She is the heir to her aunt’s money, magical powers, a talking cat and a huge pile of problems.

As expected, Nora is the prime suspect in the murder and what is even worse is that the thief’s family has power and influence. It turns out that she came from a family of vengeful and powerful witches that will stop at nothing to get revenge against Nora, who they believe killed their daughter. Nora now needs to find the books taken from her attic while at the same time find the killer so that she can ward off the girl’s family who are out for her blood.
