Against everyone's expectations - including her own - Robin Wildwood has gained the coveted title of Head Witch. But not everyone is thrilled at that outcome…

With her squirrel familiar, Tansy, at her side, Robin determines to make the best of her unexpected position, but the Wildwood Coven isn't inclined to let her barge in and shake everything up. Even her grandmother's ghost and her cantankerous cat familiar have their own opinions on how things should be run, while her scheming aunt is less than thrilled at losing out to the family screw-up.

Helping to judge the local familiar contest ought to be a welcome relief, but when one of the contenders is murdered, Robin finds herself tasked with looking after a traumatised chicken familiar as well as preventing herself from becoming the killer's next target.

Can Robin solve the mystery before her new title ends up etched on her tombstone?
