Sophie Mercer ne sait pas user de ses pouvoirs de sorcière avec discernement. C'est pour cette raison que son père, lui-même magicien, décide ' de l'envoyer faire ses études dans un lycée pour "élèves hors normes", en Géorgie. Et, quand on est expédiée à Hex Hall pour usage inapproprié de la magie, qu'on y côtoie vampires, spectres et loups-garous, qu'on doit empêcher une vampire aux cheveux roses de prendre feu, lutter contre trois ravissantes sorcières aussi dangereuses que des top models en manque de magazines, et résister à un séduisant sorcier très très agaçant, on n'a aucun besoin qu'une élève soit retrouvée vidée de son sang. C'est pourtant ce qui arrive à Sophie. Et Sophie, il ne faut surtout pas l'énerver.

But in the aftermath of her death, her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do with the house or the money – and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes. Instead, he rejects his inheritance, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past. Ten years later, his uncle’s death pulls Cam and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House. And as Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden, questions about the infamous heiress come to light. Soon, Jules and Cam realise that an inheritance can entail far more than what’s written in a will – and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave.
