Poppy is a witch who lives in a beautiful, ramshackle house in Highgate and works at a 'magic' shop selling potions and pendants to tourists. Into the shop one day walks Axl Storm, a magician and entertainer who looks like Thor and has women fawning over him. But when Poppy realises the pendant Axl bought is actually cursed, all hell breaks loose, throwing together the guy with fake magic and the witch with real magic... From the author of 'Hex Appeal'.
