When Nora Belfry's great-aunt Winnie passes away, she leaves the bulk of her estate to Nora, including her beloved Arts and Crafts style cottage out in country. What Nora doesn't learn until she takes possession of the house is, she has also inherited Winnie's role as Guardian of the Misty Hollow. She soon discovers that the Guardian is a role filled by a long line of Belfry witches. Unfortunately, Nora is also learning for the first time that she is this generation's Belfry Guardian. With the help of an Elf, a Celtic shaman and a Troll Mage, Nora has eight weeks to transform from a quiet bookstore clerk into a powerful witch. If she fails, a monster known as Garnel will be released and the entire world will be doomed.
