Summary At The Back of The Novel Edit

The Manor's turned against them...

These walls have watched the witches;

The witches have watched the world.

These walls now turn against them -

Some evil's been unfurled!

The one thing any Halliwell witch has always been able to count on is Halliwell Manor, the ancestral home of the Charmed Ones and one of San Francisco's historical landmark homes. The grand old house has sheltered generations of women, and bits of Charmed history are practically built into the walls.

So when the Manor seems to have turned against its inhabitants, needless to say, the Halliwell sisters start to worry. It begins simply: The hot water heater is broken. No big: Leo's great around the house. But this is no simple plumbing problem. Soon, the Manor seems to be messing with the girls, Leo and Wyatt in increasingly malicious ways. Thankfully, the Book of Shadows has created a safe zone for itself in the attic. But the Charmed Ones can hardly live up there forever...

Can they find out what's turned their safe haven into an evil lair before it's too late - for the Manor, and for them?

Notes Edit

• It is implied in this novel that Leo was the oldest of several siblings "As a child he'd had to care for his many brothers and sisters" (chapter 10), implying at least four (two of each).
• It is said that Prue's favorite fairytale was the Little Mermaid.
• There are three archived columns from different newspapers detailing strange happenings at the manor in chapter 8. Summaries are provided below
  • August 4, 1926. Authorities are shocked to find an influx of rare gray doves that seemed to appear overnight.
    • Phoebe attributes this to the calming effects of dove feathers. This was likely a result of a spell cast by the 1920's cousins.
  • Octover 28, 1939. A mysterious (and unplanned/uncalculated) lunar eclipse appeared for a few moments, leaving astronomers and meteorologists baffled.
    • Phoebe states these are common during times of strife between good and evil. This was also most likely due to the 1920's cousins, as Grams would have just been born.
  • April 29, 1967. The entire street woke to find a mysterious blanket of ash covering the ground with no known cause.
    • Phoebe also explains that heavy ash can be a by-product of too much spell casting, or too many sequential vanquishes. This was most likely caused by Penny.
