"After restoring their powers, Sideways just wants to get on with senior year. But the covens have convened for the trial of Madeline Kline. When this stubborn, independent witch begs the Scapegracers to save her from a cruel and unusual punishment, Sideways knows they have to get involved. It s the right thing to do, even if Madeline did steal their soul and wear it for a time. Right? Making an example out of Madeline seems, strangely, just as important to the most powerful covens as divvying up the Scapegracers amongst themselves. Sideways, Jing, Daisy, and Yates are reluctant to abandon what they ve built together, but as the college acceptances (and rejections) roll in, the offer of a magical family beyond Sycamore Gorge becomes increasingly tempting. Unfortunately, choosing a new coven will have to wait: witchfinders are gathering in town, and some of these visitors make the Chantrys seem tame in comparison. Every witch Scapegracer or not is about to be in grave danger. And on top of all that, Sideways thinks they just might be in love."--Provided by publisher.

U dubokoj, mränoj Kelebijskoj ¿umi, tamo gde senke igraju svoje tajanstvene igre me¿u borovim granama, stanuje Baba Jaga. Ova neobi¿na ve¿tica je konäno ovde pronäla svoje uto¿i¿te daleko od o¿iju ljudi. Ali ¿ivot u borovoj ¿umi joj je veoma brzo postao dosadan i jednoli¿an. Zato smi¿lja opake ¿ale i zäkoljice kako bi sebi prekratila dan. Uz to ni jedno jedino jutro ne propu¿ta da täno u ¿est sati, stane ispred mesare kako bi kupila dimljene koko¿ije no¿ice. Ali te¿ko onome ko se usudi da joj preotme tu omiljenu poslasticu, za to ¿e platiti visoku cenu. Samo jednim okretom prsta ¿e ga podariti ru¿nom bradavicom koja ¿e krasiti lice nesre¿nika najmanje mesec dana. I tako dok se sladi i odmara na drvenoj klupici ispred svoje kolibice, Baba Jaga smi¿lja kome da napakosti. Pri tome pijucka Mera Lunu, kupinovo vino koje sazreva na mese¿ini i i¿¿ekuje putnike namernike koji su zalutali u ¿umi da se poigra sa njima. Ipak ¿ini se da ¿e njenoj dosadi konäno do¿i kraj onog trenutka kada joj sestre Roga i Jadwiga najavljuju posetu. Sve to nije promaklo ni seoskim de¿acima koji se tuda potajno ¿unjaju, izgaraju¿i od znati¿elje da saznaju sve o njima. I tako konäno zapo¿inje opasna igra. Ho¿e li njihova beskrajna znati¿elja biti ispunjena ili ¿e ih zadesiti u¿asne nevolje, to je tajna na koju jedino Baba Jaga mo¿e dati odgovor.
