Two sisters must find a way to come together and heal from generations of trauma as the clock ticks down on a thirteen-year curse, told in interwoven timelines of the sisters and the witches who came before them.​

Florence and Evie Caldwell come from a long line of witches whose candle magic burns their desires into being. With each lit wick, their power infuses the places they call home, quite literally bringing them to life, including Honeysuckle House—the old Victorian where they grew up—and the enchanted bookstore on Main Street. But that magic has come at a cost. For more than seventy-five years, the family has been haunted by a curse. Once every thirteen years, someone dear to the Caldwells dies.

After the death of their abusive mother, Florence wants to abandon the house to protect them from the curse, but to Evie, the house is family. She won’t leave it behind. They turn to tarot for guidance, and the reading leads the sisters to two very different conclusions. Florence believes they should give up their magic, while Evie thinks they must use their magic for good, sharing it with the town. This drives a wedge between them. Until, thirteen years later, the sisters must contend with the curse once more.
