Three years ago when she was just thriteen, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. Her human mother has been as supportive as possible as Sophie is having a rather hard time getting the hang of her powers- only contacting Sophies elusive warlock father when strictly neccessary. Let's just say that Sophie and her mother have had to move a lot because someone can't control her spells. But a prom incident that causes too much attention to be brought to Sophies powers lands her at Hecate Hall, a school for Prodigium; faeries, witches, and shapeshifters, who have caused their world to be exposed. On her first day at Hex Hall Sophie gets attacked by a werewolf, develops a crush on a totally off limits warlock, makes enemies of the only dark wicth coven on the island (who happen to look and act like supermodels), gets a creepy tagalong ghost, and the most hated (and only) vampire as her roomate. Her time there gets even worse when she discovers that her father is the head of the council, as in the one who sent everybody to Hex Hall. Then to add on to the suckiness of her life, something is attacking girls at Hecate and leaving them for dead and her only friend and roomate is the only suspect. She still can't get ahold of her magic and she discovers that her biggest threat of all is a group of Pridigium hunters who want to destroy her entire race especially her.
