Sybil Ames is restless with just being a witch's apprentice. She wants and needs to tap into her base talent, but her mentors claim her weak magic is best not used. Desperately trying to find ways to become a better witch, one day she receives a sign through a song and feels that she must stop at a yard sale. There she finds a book of spells hidden in a drawer, calling to her. She quickly decides to purchase it to see what spells are locked inside. Innocently thinking this is her chance to prove herself to everyone, Sybil begins to read the spells. But something goes terribly wrong -- spells begin to flow into her on their own and she has no way to control them. To her dismay, a shape shifting wolf mysteriously shows up claiming she has just opened a portal to evil and he needs her help to close it.

A betrayal from witches many years ago resulted in the loss of his wolf pack in a bloody battle and led him to his current situation. Unfortunately, the wayward witch has asked for his goddess help and been granted that wish. He is now bound by honor to bring Sybil to his liar, after she accepts certain terms, to assist him undo the damage she has caused. But his body's reaction to the untrustworthy witch has him confused and frustrated at what the future will hold.
