Linda Kelleher, or Lilou, faces a dilemma. She is a regular Pittsburgh girl, growing up in the beautiful Shadyside neighborhood. She looks up to her older sister, tries to meet her mother’s expectations and loves to study math with her father. Numbers have always made sense to her in a way people never did. Only…something is never quite right. When her first love Gary resurfaces after his failed marriage, Lilou must confront the magical heritage she's spent a lifetime denying. What starts as a second chance at romance quickly spirals into something darker as Lilou discovers she comes from a long line of powerful witches. Her grandmother's revelation about her true nature forces her to question everything - including whether her rekindled relationship with Gary is real love or the result of a dangerous spell cast years ago. Once Lilou and Gary are together, she feels complete. But then, the magic she's tried so hard to deny catches up with her. During a moment of crisis, Lilou meets a domovoy, a house elf who lives in her home and claims to protect her from harm. The creature is impossible to ignore, and forces her to acknowledge that the world is more complex than she’d ever imagined. The encounter with the domovoy changes the trajectory of Lilou’s life and makes her reconsider her choices. She embraces her destiny and joins her rightful place in a line of powerful witches.
