But being a white witch is not as easy as they portray it in the books, and she’s already been placed under "house arrest" with a letch named Stan, a coworker who wronged her in the past and now exists in the form of a cat.

Doch plötzlich ist da Marcia, die genau wie Kia das Kind zweier verschiedener Elemententräger und zu allem Überfluss auch noch wunderschön ist.
