Hannah Walker's last memory includes the barrel of a gun and being called a bitch. Change bitch to witch, and high school for a hayfield, and life in 1714 Connecticut isn't so different after all.
Lipstick? Check. Teeth? Check. Hair?
I smooth my hair down the side of my head, then flip it over my shoulder. Not a single curl in sight.

He reaches into his jacket, and something cold slithers down my back. I cannot move. The hallway, the sounds of my classmates, the clatter of lockers and laughter and first day jitters, it all disappears.
Witches, hmm?

Seven to ward off evil, of course.
