Natalia Stevens is smart, nice and shy-and this is exactly how everyone sees her. Even day-to-day conversations with friends and classmates are difficult, and guys certainly don't pay her any attention. During her senior year, Nati begins to notice unexpected interactions with her volleyball coach, Alex. Despite the apparent chemistry developing, she struggles to believe there is anything between them. Before she can make sense of it all, volleyball season is winding down, and it appears her mystifying crush will be out of her life for good. Natalia enters university just as socially petrified as she had been in high school, but new experiences with friends, booze and boys open up a surprising world of possibility. She realizes she can talk openly to other people for the first time, and this exhilarating discovery fosters a newfound confidence she thought she might never uncover in herself. Along the roller coaster ride of thrilling and frustrating crash-and-burn encounters with various crushes, however, there is one guy Nati can't seem to shake from her mind.

Two types of magic divide the world the Tarby family lives in. There are those who practice magic built on tradition set in stone by the ancient spell book and those who dare to experiment and create their own. Those who step outside the confines of the ancient spell book are seen as dangerous troublemakers who have no place in the society created by the powerful elites. Witches who practice experimental magic are often shunned and ridiculed for their beliefs while traditionalists are praised for upholding the status quo. Like the world they live in, the Tarby family is also divided. In the face of adversity, the siblings were forced to choose a side. The youngest of four, fifteen year-old Meadow is torn between her strict, by the book sisters and her unorthodox, exhibitionist brother. While her two sisters Misty and Millie chose adherence to traditional standards, her brother Markos rejected the ancient teachings and dove deep into experimental magic. For years, the once inseparable family has been plagued by hatred and division stemming from the sides they've chosen. As the challenges they face become more difficult, the siblings must find a way to come together or be forever broken by a system designed to tear them apart.
