Nola and her mother travel from town to town doing odd jobs and always moving on to the next town before anyone suspects that they're witches.

Nola sneaks into the house disguised as Brinna the maidservant to end the spell before the duke's men discover it. Will Nola be able to fool everyone into thinking she is Brinna? Will she be able to end the spell before the duke's men search the basement? Will she get arrested for the murder, either as Nola or as Brinna? And when will the real Brinna finish the market shopping and return back home? Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

What did bother me, though, was the hypocrisy throughout the book in order for it to conclude with the emotional happy ending. The main character, Nola, does some very questionable things, which the book acknowledges but excuses because she does them for "good," whereas the antagonists doing bad things are punished for doing them. The moral lessons were all mixed up. Nola finally manages to escape the main situation, but for some reason decides to completely unnecessarily come clean about her major secret she's been hiding in fear for her entire life to the one person with authority to arrest her for it, who after less than 24 hours of knowing her throws away his moral code because of instalove. Painful. ( )
