Cassy and Ayla return to the small SoCal coven they have belonged to since elementary school, to bolster its status and ensure its survival by adding numbers and power. They brought Max along because their first, second, and third choices were unavailable or engaged in activities vital to maintaining their world.
You see, the trio, as well as several thousand others, chose a different time direction a few years ago to avoid the impending earth apocalypse. It was the destiny for their bloodline, having tried to guide earth for generations.
In the utopia where they now live, time space travel is a very real possibility but is considered risky and usually discouraged. Strong emotional bonds with those left on Earth still exist for many Murian citizens and occasionally returning to the old time direction and Earth is tolerated, if sufficiently warranted.
The mission of this trip is simple. Help Cassy and Ayla's old coven defeat a pretend warlock, have a party, and go home. One little problem—Max's flirtatious nature has them in trouble from day one.
