With a coveted spot at an elite Cambridge university college, she seems to have everything she desires, provided she adheres to strict rules: make no promises, disclose nothing about her powers, and avoid staying overnight. However, Aurelia's green magic is waning, and a sinister force is hunting witches to steal their abilities. Reluctantly, she seeks assistance from her arrogant classmate, Theodore Ingram. Together, they escape to his family's secluded home in a desolate town, but as Aurelia develops feelings for Theodore, the witch-killer draws closer, threatening everything she cherishes. This enchanting tale blends elements of cozy fantasy with themes of academic rivalry, romance, and the importance of found family.
