When Gabe's hands started smoking in the school bathroom, he and his brother, Simon, figured that that would be the weirdest day of their lives. That was until they move to Blackheart Island where they run into Brianne, Bridget and Anne, who join them in near death experiences, Warlocks who are older and more powerful than they look, Deceivers whose looks are absolutely deceiving and Widows who really want them dead. Oh ... and Magic, which turns out to be both a blessing and a curse.
