Glory and Lucas are from different sides of the tracks - and, for now, on the same side. Both are witches. Both are working for the government on a secret mission. And now they are being sent to Switzerland, undercover, to see if an elite boarding school has been infiltrated by Endor, a breakaway terrorist witch organisation. But Glory and Lucas have their own burdens to bear. Glory is heartbroken that her mother deserted her as a child and has never been heard of since. Lucas, coming from a family that for generations has devoted itself to prosecuting witches, must fight to prove himself, his value and his loyalty. Together they must fight - for their country . . . and for themselves
