Willow Harper struggles to scratch out a home of her own. After burying her adoptive parents, the lonely barista trades in her microwave meals and dead-end espresso gig to follow a pair of fast-talking felines who claim to serve her birth relatives. But the raven-haired outsider fears her newfound curiosity may get her killed when her family reunion is cut short by a fatal poisoning.
Accused of the dastardly deed and forbidden to leave the enchanted town unless her name is cleared, Willow sniffs out clues from an ever-growing list of suspects while battling to control her awakening magic. And between ghostly encounters, running the local bustling bakery, and the well-intentioned antics of her fuzzy familiar, this witch-in-training stirs up a cauldron of trouble.
Can Willow prove her innocence and catch the murderer before the next deadly brew boils?
