Deze serie volgt Ivy Wilde, een ongemotiveerde heks die luieren verkiest boven elke magische inspanning. Wanneer een bureaucratische misstap haar echter in de onderzoeksafdeling van een magische orde stort, moet ze zich bezighouden met bureaucratie en een gestolen magisch artefact. Haar sarcastische en luie aanleg wordt alleen geëvenaard door haar onwillige partner, die haar tegenpool belichaamt. Fans van urban fantasy zullen genieten van deze mix van humor, actie en onwillige heldhaftigheid.
Ivy Wilde is not your typical heroine; she's a lazy witch who prefers lounging on her sofa. However, a case of mistaken identity pulls her into the Arcane Branch, where she must deal with a stolen artifact and her reluctant partnership with the diligent Raphael Winter, whom she finds insufferable.
Hard Work Will Pay Off Later. Laziness Pays Off Now. Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact, she's probably the last witch in the world who you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa where she could watch TV, munch junk food and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses. It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work. And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.
