In this final Owens novel, full of lyrical beauty and vibrant characters, master storyteller Alice Hoffman delivers us the culmination of the Practical Magic trilogy in a captivating and delightful way.

For more than three centuries, the Owens family has been doomed in romantic affairs, but that is about to change. The tale opens in a library, which is the ideal setting for a story to be imagined. It is there that loving aunt Jet Owens learns she has just seven days to live after hearing about the deathwatch insect. There are others in risk besides Jet; the curse is already at work.

Traveling from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens originally practiced the Unnamed Art, three generations of the Owens ladies and one long-lost brother are inspired to use their uncommon skills to break the curse in a desperate bid to save the life of a young man. The younger generation learns mysteries about magic and love that their fiercely protective mother Sally has kept concealed from them. While Kylie Owens discovers the truth about her identity and her own dark abilities, her aunt Franny learns that she is prepared to give up all for her family, and Sally Owens comes to terms with the fact that she is prepared to give up everything for love.

A magnificent epilogue, The Book of Magic honors mothers and daughters, siblings and parents, and all those who have ever experienced love.
