Blackrock isn't like any other town - Kasey is about to find that out, the hard way. Hexes, witches and an ancient curse? It sounds like a fantasy story to army brat, Kasey, but when she witnesses magic with her own eyes, she can't deny that Blackrock is a weird place to live. It's about to get even weirder. The descendants of the witch who cursed the town, are after a black quartz crystal which stores enormous power. If the wrong one gets their hands on it, then the town is in big trouble. Flirty goth, Ash is one possible descendant, and the most powerful witch in town. He's also starring in most of Kasey's dreams lately, whether she likes it or not. Viola is snarky, powerful and vengeful. She takes an instant dislike to Kasey, and as a potential descendant, she is not someone to make an enemy of. When Kasey gets her hands on the crystal, it's up to her to decide who gets it. But if she makes the wrong choice, it could get her killed.
