Blair is one step closer to finally getting her own wand and becoming a real witch-in-training.
The only person standing in her way is the notoriously grumpy wand-maker wizard. One small problem: he's just hired her to find him a new assistant, and the job is cursed. With every possible employee turning into a rodent, it's up to Blair to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Nobody in town likes the wand-maker. There might be a dozen people with a grudge... or he might be hiding another secret of his own.
Between work, magic lessons, and taking care of her unconventional familiar, she'll be lucky to sneak in time for a date with retired paranormal hunter and town security guard Nathan... if she can unravel the mystery without a wand of her own.
