Titles in Collection & Description
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.
As they come of age, the Owens siblings must learn the true rules of magic — and the even more complicated rules of the heart. Sweeping, atmospheric and filled with Hoffman’s signature lyrical prose, this novel explores family bonds, fate, heartbreak and the power of choosing your own destiny.
Perfect for fans of magical realism, strong female characters and richly woven family sagas, The Rules of Magic is a captivating and emotional addition to the Practical Magic series.
