Every year in the magical town of Ravenskill Witchlings who participate in the Black Moon
Ceremony are placed into covens and come into their powers as full-fledged witches. And
twelve-year-old Seven Salazar can't wait to be placed in the most powerful coven with her best
friend! But on the night of the ceremony in front of the entire town Seven isn't placed in
one of the five covens. She's a Spare! Spare covens have fewer witches are less powerful and
are looked down on by everyone. Even worse when Seven and the other two Spares perform the
magic circle to seal their coven and cement themselves as sisters it doesn't work! They're
stuck as Witchlings--and will never be able to perform powerful magic. Seven invokes her only
option: the impossible task. The three Spares will be assigned an impossible task: If they work
together and succeed at it their coven will be sealed and they'll gain their full powers. If
they fail... Well the last coven to make the attempt ended up being turned into toads. Forever
...
