The occasionally magic, always superstitious town of Prior's End is famous for three things:

Whimsical charm at the annual Fall Festival.
The legend of the wishing well hidden in a forest bristling with secrets.
And Nova Marwood's missing hiker father.

Every year without him, it gets easier to pretend Nova doesn't believe in myth and magic. Easier to pretend she's doing okay. Easier to pretend she doesn't have a secret crush on the girl she fake-hates.

Kiara Mistry is the luckiest girl in town and the thief of every crush Nova had her heart set on first. In theory, Nova should resent Kiara. But it's getting harder to deny her feelings.

When Nova lays an unintended hex on Kiara at the Fall Festival, and one misfortune after another swiftly follows, soon Kiara's very survival is at stake. To reverse the bad luck, Kiara's exes turned BFFs commence a quest for the miraculous wishing well. There's only one person who can get them there... Nova.

But to save Kiaraโ€”and maybe find her dad, tooโ€”she'll have to believe in something much stronger than magic. Nova will need to believe in herself.
