Abandoned by her childhood sweetheart, she left her gossiping small town, heartbreak, and emotionally distant father in the past. Now, she's \u003ci\u003ehappy\u003c\/i\u003e if not just a bit bored running a magical flower shop with her best friend. Until she receives notice that she's inherited her father's sanctuary for magical creatures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Reece heads back to her cozy, magical town of Honey Brooke that unfortunately still hasn't gotten over that one teeny, tiny fire incident when she was a teenager. What should've been a calm, quiet homecoming turns into chaos incarnate when Reece comes face-to-face with the reason she left in the first place: Laken Augustus. Her ex-boyfriend who seems to have grown up to also be a part-time assassin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's one tragedy after another, from dodging fire-spitting chickens and a poisonous porcupine to bolting after a runaway raccoon and realizing Laken is the only person who knows how to run a magical sanctuary.
