Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estates––a gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. To solve the mystery at Live Oaks, Ruby and Olivia will have to put their old grudges aside and figure out how to be a team. They’d like to think the other campers are pranking them, but they soon realize that this empty mansion might not be uninhabited after all. It isn’t long until little tricks-like mysterious music playing, doors slamming, and shadows rising-start to spook the girls. There’s everything from mink stoles to golf clubs to antique that doll watching them? Sorting through objects in an old house sounds boring, and working together is the last thing the girls want to do, but the stuff is actually kind of cool. To kick off the spirit of service, the campers are tasked with cataloging the contents of Live Oaks, a historic mansion in their town.
And now Olivia is stuck with Ruby all summer-at a community service day camp for troublemakers. But Olivia’s good-girl image is tarnished when she takes the fall for her twin sister’s misdeed.

Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Archer to do it. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers.īut once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world-the other being her father. But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies).
