Thus, the books cover a wide range of topics related to Wiccan life beyond outright practice, including conflicts with mainstream society, the diversity of the Neo-Pagan community, and legal rights. Isobel Bird wrote the series to do what many non-fiction books about Wicca fail to do: show how Wiccans experience their religion.
The series takes place over a period of roughly one year and two months, during which Kate, Annie, and Cooper undergo the traditional year-and-a-day of Wiccan study before being initiated into a coven. Kate is torn between fitting in and embracing the Wiccan path Annie tries to reconcile her scientific, rational thinking with her new-found intuitive, emotional faith, as well as coming to terms with her parents' deaths years before the headstrong and independent Cooper has trouble adjusting to both the unpredictability of magic and the novelty of intense friendship. Each of them face various conflicts on her path, both external and internal. After putting things to rights, the three decide to continue studying Wicca together, which they do at a local New Age store called Crones' Circle. She seeks the help of two girls who had previously checked out the spellbook, Annie Crandall, an intellectual, and Cooper Rivers, an alternative outsider. She casts a love spell, which leads to disaster.
Kate Morgan, a preppy, popular basketball player, checks out a book of spells while doing research for her history paper on medieval witch trials. It was published between Februand March 19, 2002. It follows the lives of three teenage girls from different social cliques, who come together over a mutual interest in witchcraft.
