About the book
Lady Antonia Kerrigan possessed the extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, and they with her. However, nothing had shocked her quite like the day she encountered a remarkably charming wolf, a species thought to be extinct in England. This wolf, who was in fact a wolf requesting a temporary transformation into a human for a day, caught Antonia off guard. Although hesitant at first, Antonia ventured into her great-grandmother's spell book to investigate the feasibility of this request. Unfortunately, she ended up casting the wrong spell, though fortunately, there were no witnesses around to be endangered.
Meanwhile, Philip Cardwell, Viscount Chedworth, observed Lady Antonia slipping away into the night and decided to trail her discreetly. To his surprise, he discovered her in a mystical garden engrossed in reading from a book. With a family history rich in witchcraft, Philip chose not to interrupt her and quietly withdrew. However, strange occurrences began plaguing his body at midnight, prompting him to finally approach Antonia with his concerns.
Despite her incomplete spell, Philip's unexpected condition left Antonia perplexed. The looming deadline of the next full moon weighed heavily on her mind. The consequences of failing to reverse the spell were too dire to consider. With Philip's fate hanging in the balance, Antonia knew she had to act swiftly. The thought of losing the man she loved left her heart heavy with dread.
