"A witch wants my baby!"

Tamara Huntley is as mundane as they come. A suburban mom with two young children, her life revolves around her family, her job, and the comforts of home. So when her estranged, wild-child sister comes to her, begging for help and claiming a witch murdered her husband and wants to steal her baby daughter in payment for a long-ago oath, Tamara thinks she's gone crazy.

Until she turns up dead, and the baby vanishes without a trace.

If Tamara's going to get her niece back, she'll have to expand her worldview fast. She'll also need some expert help. But where can a normal, practical woman find help dealing with an evil witch?

Fortunately for her, aid is closer than she thinks. Who better to give button-down Tamara a crash course in things that go bump in the night than Stanford occult studies professor Dr. Alastair Stone? At least he can offer some tips, even if she's sure he can't help her any other way.

Because magic isn't real.right?

Welcome to the spooky side of the street, Tamara. Hope you survive the experience.
