When one of them turns out to be a book on alchemy that’s been lost for centuries, troubles begin.

Phoebe is ready for drastic measures to keep the book from him, even if it jeopardises her relationship with Kane.When a warlock comes after the book, they must put their personal issues aside. The ingenuity, strength, and magical skills of the entire House of Magic is needed once again. But will it be enough, or will the book show what it’s really made of?
