Aster is not a shapeshifter like the other males in his family, therefore he and his family are getting used to his unusual gift of witchcraft. In addition to studying under his grandmother, he assists in watching after his great-uncle, whose perverted magic caused chaos for the household.
In the meanwhile, Charlie, Aster's friend from the non-magical section of the community, is dealing with her own issues after a curse attempted to attach itself to her. She flees to Aster and escapes it, but before other people—magical and otherwise—get harmed, the companions need to identify the curse's origin.
