Joanna Beauchamp and her daughters Freya and Ingrid live a quiet, uneventful life in North Hampton, New York. But what the town doesn’t know is that they are harboring a great secret– they are immortal witches banned from using their magic. Joanna is a healer who can resurrect people from the dead. Ingrid, a reserved librarian, can foresee the future and cure anything from infertility to infidelity. And Freya, the irresistible wild child, has the ability to create a charm or potion that will cure most any heartache. Unable to deny their true natures, the Beauchamps start using their powers again to help with the ailments of their fellow townspeople. But when the neighbors are mysteriously attacked, and a young girl last seen drinking one of Freya’s cocktails disappears, it feels like the Salem witch trials all over again, and the Beauchamp women must uncover what dark supernatural forces are working against them.
