A burned-out millennial witch ruins her family’s ancient magical potion and must enlist the help of her next-door nemesis to save it in the enchanting adult debut from the New York Times bestselling author of Girls of Paper and Fire.

Laila Chu comes from one of three magical British Chinese families in the sleepy seaside town of Silverwood Cove. Despite a busy life in London, she dutifully returns home every weekend to uphold her family’s mystical traditions (a.k.a. chores for needy ancestors). When her parents leave for a trip, Laila is entrusted with the ancient potion that has allowed the Chu family to communicate with the spirit realm for over 800 years ...

And ruins it on Day One.

In order to reconstruct the potion, the only person who can help Laila is her childhood nemesis, Anthony Lim.

To Laila’s amazement, Anthony agrees. And as they search for the recipe’s elusive ingredients, her greater surprise is how much fun she’s having. Still, she begins to wonder if this disastrous turn of events might be the start of something…if only she can fix the potion before her parents return—or before she falls too hard for a man who’s only here for the magic.
