She's got a cleared name and a clean slate, but can that keep the mischief away? After an unfriendly welcome, the cozy New England town of Hope's Crossing is starting to finally feel like home to novice witch Maggie Corey. Thanks to her blossoming supernatural powers, Maggie was able to assist the local sheriff in finding the murderer of her beloved Aunt Clara, putting accusations that she was the killer to rest once and for all. Now, Maggie hopes to settle into a new career running Aunt Clara's herb store with Bramble, her aunt's wise and sassy talking cat, who is fast becoming a new friend and valuable tutor in magic. The Coreys ties to witchcraft goes all the way back to the Salem Witch Trials and the founding of Hope's Crossing. Even though that all might seem like ancient history to Maggie, the force she feels building inside her make the family talent more than a myth. Meanwhile, other descendants from the town's earliest days are set on bringing the dark times back. Just when she thinks she's overcome the bias against her, someone switches out the cookies Maggie leaves on the counter at the shop. Soon these belladonna-laced treats send residents into dangerous hallucinations. Maggie is blamed for either drugging her customers, putting them under a spell, or both. Suddenly, Maggie's right back where she started, having to earn trust in her community - and her innocence. To do so, Maggie will have to work quickly to find the poisoner responsible. But the more Maggie gets pulled into the mystery, the more it seems the past isn't buried after all...
