Описание: Boston, 1846. 18-year-old Mildred Parish, a barbers daughter, practices practical witchraft using locks of hair obtained from her fathers customers. Shes very selective about who knows her secret and the kinds of spells she casts. Only people she trusts can know and she must never cast a spell to harm another person.
One of her fathers clients is Theodore OBrian, an Irish immigrant whose family is fortunate enough to be wealthy. Mildred is head-over-heels in love with him, but hes destined to be with someone else. One day, a woman named Trinity Hartell comes knocking on Mildreds door. She has a vendetta against an entire family and wants Mildred to cast a death spell on them. The family? The OBrians, including Theodore. Mildred refuses, but Trinity is set on getting what she wants, one way or another.
Mildred now feels she must protect the OBrian family and the man she loves, but she must also protect herself. How can she make sure Trinity is stopped without telling the entire city of Boston that shes a witch?
