Cindy is struggling to assimilate Oblitus' legacy, when she takes a short break in the real world.
It is less of a break than anticipated when she encounters an organisation bent on the destruction of all Witches.
And to add to that, she saves two children from almost certain death. Prevents two elderly pensioners from being mugged, and has to resist the advances of some amorous teenagers.
Coming home after seeing her friends in the park, she is shocked to discover that her housekeeper has been shot, and the sister that she didn't know that she had, has been kidnapped.
Her visit culminates in the mysterious discovery of a Witches vault in her great Aunt's Chimney. But all of this pales into insignificance when on her return to the Witches Realm, and a visit to the Witches museum, she discovers that the Book of Spells is missing.
