Als Vivienne Jones von Rhys Penhallow verlassen wird, tut sie, was jede junge Hexe an ihrer Stelle getan hätte: Sie lässt sich ein Bad ein, mixt sich einen ordentlichen Drink und verflucht den Mistkerl, der ihr das Herz gebrochen hat. Neun Jahre später ist Vivi immer noch nicht über Rhys hinweg, und als dieser zum jährlichen Herbstfest nach Graves Glen zurückkehrt, beschließt sie, ihn zu ignorieren.

Um den Fluch zu brechen, müssen Rhys und Vivi – zunächst äußerst widerwillig – zusammenarbeiten. Doch schon bald merken die beiden, dass die Funken nicht mehr nur in den Leylinien unter der Stadt sprühen ...

Gender, Crime, and Justice also addresses masculinity and the role it plays in defining offenders and victims, as well as challenges posed by the gender gap in offending.
