The spellbinding sequel to the tarot-inspired graphic novel, where five witches must break a generational curse to reclaim their futures.

After uncovering harrowing secrets about their pasts, James, Daphne, Koko, Sunny and Eli are determined to break the grip of the ancestral curse that binds them. And as romances bloom between the friends, their bonds become beacons of hope in the darkness - a reminder of what''s worth fighting for when everything is at stake.

With the powerful Majors now their allies, the group returns to the place where Eli first discovered his magic: a seemingly abandoned farmhouse filled with echoes of the past. There, they must face the ghosts - both real and imagined - that have shaped them.

To undo the curse, they''ll have to confront who they were. To survive, they''ll have to believe in who they''ve become.

A powerful story of healing, rebellion and the magic of rewriting your own story.
