In a world ruled by ancient spells and silent power, five young witches are about to discover that the truth is the most dangerous magic of all.
James, Daphne, Koko and Sonny have always known the Arcana - a secretive society of witches governed by the enigmatic Majors - as home. Eli Jones, however, hadn't even known other witches existed . . . until he meets James.
Inducted into the Arcana, Eli soon finds more than just spells and secrets within its walls, including the family he never had and a blossoming romance with James.
But beneath the Arcana's magical surface, something sinister is stirring. And when the group delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the deaths of their parents and the Majors' ascent, they discover that the Arcana's power comes at a cost - and they may be the ones fated to pay it.
To break the curse, they'll have to confront the past. To save each other, they'll have to risk everything.
A stunning graphic novel about the families we choose, the love we fight for and the courage it takes to break the cycle.
