In and out of institutions for over a decade, Eleanor St. Vincent can't get the episodes racking her to stop. Half-witch, and lousy spell caster, she doesn't picture much of a future. Then one day, Mitchell Sharpe catches her eye. Mitchell Sharpe never dreamed he'd need the Prestige Institute. A year spent under a hex cost him everything, and he has no idea where to go from there. The last thing he expected to find was love. Their happiness is short-lived as societal demands and ancient curses threaten to cave-in all they want to build. The deck might be stacked against them, but Mitchell and Eleanor will fight for their second chance at life...and love.
