Aster can now participate in witchcraft classes, which were previously exclusive to girls. Her enthusiasm for studying all things magic diminishes when she realizes the many lessons she needs to learn and that some people have not accepted certain changes in family traditions.

The witch boy begins taking lessons from Grandma Wynonna. However, in exchange, she requests help in eliminating all the dark magic that has taken over her brother, Mikasi. Aster isn't keen on cooperating with the elder's mission, but eventually relents when he makes a deal to protect a dear friend.

Back at school after summer break, Charlie is thrilled to befriend the mysterious new student, Ariel. But a terrifying shadow begins to haunt her, inexplicably, as she struggles to overcome the trauma of her confrontations with Mikasi.

In this second volume of the Witch Boy trilogy, Aster and his friends will face known and unknown threats, and learn that the greatest lesson during the maturation of every witch is the importance of family.

“Ostertag's second book is just as wonderful as its predecessor, with its consistently expanding world, colorful and charming illustrations, and its likable and diverse characters, which portray real life spanning white, brown, and Black people, as well as same-gender relationships.” - Kirkus Reviews
