As they become more aware of their aunts' mysterious and sometimes frightening powers--and as their own powers begin to surface--the sisters grow determined to escape their strange upbringing by blending into "normal" society.

But both find that they cannot elude their magic-filled past. And when trouble strikes--in the form of a menacing backyard...
