Sage Hemlock has rejected her witchy identity after magic caused painful consequences in her past. She now seeks refuge in the museum she runs, her books and her cat, hoping to avoid the coven long enough to give up her powers. When she accidentally activates a curse hidden in a historical book, fairy-tale magic invades her quiet town. A giant beanstalk appears, her colleague Casimir takes on the role of a handsome prince and familiar stories begin reshaping real lives. Sage must solve the book's mysteries, evade the coven and use the very magic she distrusts to save her friends and home from being swallowed by someone else's happily ever after.
