Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder.

Matt is inside Maggie's head, and their oddly dangerous frenemies are gone for the time being, but their troubles are only just beginning. Cyrilla is out of commission and some young witches are setting themselves up to be her successors . . . and courting Cole in the process.

Which annoys Maggie, given that she's his girlfriend now.

It's complicated.

Maggie doesn't have any interest in taking Cyrilla's place, but when she hears that a magical bounty hunter is preying on the children in her community, she's sure as hell not going to let him get away with it.

Tracking him down requires her to go to James Shalton for help. Cole's father. The guy who might or might not have killed Cyrilla. Who might or might not have it out for Maggie.

Is anything going to be simple ever again?
