Know that for our family, love is a curse... For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk. So Susanna sets down rules for her children: no walking in the moonlight, no cats, no candles, and no books about magic. And most importantly: never, ever, fall in love. But it's not long before the irrepressible Owens siblings begin to uncover family secrets and question the truth of who they are. Soon, each will begin a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse and break every one of the rules of magic.
