The Rules of Magic: Volume 2 The Practical Magic Series by Alice Hoffman | Paperback

From beloved storyteller Alice Hoffman, The Rules of Magic is the spellbinding prequel to Practical Magic and the second instalment in the enchanting Practical Magic series.

Set in 1960s New York, the novel follows siblings Franny, Jet and Vincent Owens as they grow up in a house where love is forbidden and magic is a dangerous inheritance. Raised by a strict mother who bans anything to do with romance, the children soon discover that their family bloodline carries extraordinary powers — along with a devastating curse: anyone they fall in love with is doomed.
