Where there are witches and wizards, there is magic—that much is clear. What's more confusing is exactly how that magic works. In Witch and Wizard, Whit and Wisty don't discover their abilities until they're imprisoned. Why are these talents emerging now? And what should we make of all the other supernatural beings who seem more sinister? You know, like the Lost Ones, who dwell in the Underworld and eat human flesh. Wisty encounters a coven of witches who try to get her arrested. And then of course there's The One Who Is The One, who is a dictator… and a cold-blooded murderer.
