Unlike his parents and his twin Seamus, Ian O’Donnell is not a good witch. Or rather, he isn’t quite good at it. Studying charts and remembering candles hasn’t ever really been his thing. Still, he longs to see the mystical sites of the world, especially the Great Pyramids of Giza. When Ian finally reaches them, though, he finds himself more attracted to the sexy man who works the night shift at his hotel than he does the pyramids.<br><br>Ian’s able to convince Khnurn to take him to the desert for a romantic evening in front of the pyramids. Everything’s going great until Khnurn gets serious. He tells Ian he’s a vampire and they’ve known each other before. Unfortunately, Ian can’t recall ever having been in a serious relationship in this life, or any other, and he isn’t quite sure Khnurn isn’t just feeding him pick-up lines. When Khnurn leaves Ian alone to think about things, another man appears in Ian’s life, a crazy-looking spectre that might just be the Angel of Death.<br><br>Ian soon finds himself hightailing it back to Massachusetts just in time for Halloween with his wonderfully animated witch family and their coven. Unfortunately, it isn’t souvenirs Ian’s brought back with him, but rather the creepy spectre from the desert, and maybe a sexy vampire who might just be the love of his life.

“So, the boundary candles will stay in place,” Susanna said. “The crowd will know to stay away from them, but they won’t know why. It will be instinctual. If anyone goes to pass them, they’ll just feel like turning back.”


“Didn’t a crowd break through them once in our records?” Phillipa Harrington asked.


“Yes, once,” Susanna said. “We like to think it wouldn’t happen again. They still were not able to take the witch they were trying to burn from the property, but they did get through. If that happens tonight, we’ll act accordingly, and hope that, like that angry mob in our past, anyone passing that line won’t be able to do harm to any of us.”


“What if he shows up?” Manny Hathorne asked.


“As long as he doesn’t cross the boundary candles, we’ll pretty much ignore him,” Raferty explained. “After the ritual, we’ll come in here for cider, and Ian and Seamus will work on things upstairs. If they need us, they’ll call.”


“And if he does cross the boundary candles?” Abigail Goode asked.
