​
Painter Phoebe Starwood-Llewellyn is struggling to create an art career; she specializes in portraiture, which simply wasn't fashionable among 1960s English art critics.
​
A young woman and a mother, Phoebe is also a witch, part of an ever-growing tribe of demon-bred people with inherited magical powers.
​
Phoebe doesn't consider herself particularly skilled in magic, but a wealthy art collector tempts her with a lucrative if morally questionable challenge requiring spells her fellow witches think impossible. She becomes determined to see if she is up to creating a version of one of the most famous pictures in English fiction: The Picture of Dorian Gray.
​
As we learn...
there's never any telling what a witch may do.
