Paxton Perlman is living his mostly laid back California life of surfing, hanging out, and turning into a werewolf once a month. After nearly drowning while night surfing, Paxton goes to sleep that night expecting to wake up as a wolf. But he doesn’t. After consulting with conjurer LittleJessie Witt, Paxton discovers he’s been hexed by a witch. When, where, and why, Paxton doesn’t know. He kinda doesn’t care. All he wants to do is get his lycanthropy back and the only way he can do that is to find a witch to unhex him. Thank goodness LittleJessie Witt just happens to know of a coven. In Illinois.
Exie Cutler is living her mostly normal small-town life of flying a helicopter, meeting with her coven, and arguing with her crow familiar Nehemiah about his ungodly consumption of French fries. Then a stranger with a surfer vibe blows into town looking for help and the Circle chooses Exie to be his hero. Now she and Nehemiah are off to California to find this guy’s witch and get him unhexed.
But it turns out that the witch in question isn’t so easily found. Or reasoned with. And even with the help of a couple of unexpected Heller siblings, it’s going to be a battle to get this hex broken. A battle that may not get Paxton back to his werewolf self and may cost Exie her life.
