    Spring has sprung . . . and so have the daisies. 
     
     
     
    In Charm Cove, Maine, spring means blooming flowers, thawed snow, and just a hint of everyday magic. Moira Wicked is embracing it all—her powers, her future, and her recent engagement to Liam. Life is finally settling down. 
     
     
     
    Until it starts raining daisies. 
     
     
     
    One minute, the town looks like a picture-perfect coastal getaway. The next, it's drowning in daisies—falling from the sky, sprouting from rooftops, carpeting lawns, and turning every surface into a floral explosion. Pretty? Sure. Magical menace? Definitely. 
     
     
     
    Now Moira and the rest of Charm Cove's witchy residents are knee-deep in blossoms, racing to uncover what—or who—is behind the petal-powered pandemonium. 
     
     
     
    As curious tourists flood the town to witness the so-called Daisy Wonder of the World, Moira has a sneaking suspicion this spring surprise might not be so innocent after all. 
     
     
     
    In Charm Cove, magic is always in bloom . . . but this time, it might be blooming out of control.
