Samantha Walker is embracing her new magical life as a witch, but she hasn't quite given up her life in the human world just yet. While she studies hard at Danforth Academy and puts her new magic skills to the test, the pending trial of Astrixia, the evil witch who kidnapped her, hangs over her head. Samantha must focus on moving forward and not letting Astrixia get to her. But can she face her at trial in front of the Witch's Council? That might be difficult. Astrixia always has tricks up her sleeve and it will ultimately be up to Samantha to stop her, though she still has Ben and some pretty powerful new friends in her corner. A rip-roaring adventure awaits Samantha and her magical circle of friends, but it's not necessarily an adventure that any of them wanted. Can Astrixia really be stopped?
