Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery. One fashionable ring to rule them all spells trouble for a witch who needs to uncover its mystery. After Vega acquires a new piece of jewelry, an ancient ruby ring that she hopes will have powers to resurrect the dead, she is disappointed to learn the artifact has less extraordinary uses. Or does it? When Vega was in high school, Malisha Bane bullied her by slipping contaminated food in her meals and hunting her down to watch Vega's freakish shapeshifting at night. Now that Vega is an adult and works as a teacher at the same school as Malisha, her arch rival continues to be the bane of her existence. Vega wishes Malisha would transform into a nice person-and that wish comes true thanks to the powers of the ring. This turn in Vega's good fortune seems a little too good to be true. When Malisha starts to exhibit unusual symptoms from the spell, Vega suspects the forbidden magic she used to evict Malisha's toxic personality might be more dangerous than she realized. When students start dying, and Vega suspects the new and improved Malisha Bane is behind the incidents, Vega needs to intervene. She must investigate why the "nice" Malisha is murdering people-and what she must do to stop this behavior. The problem is, Vega actually likes the new Malisha more than the real version. Will Vega be able to discover the motive-and stop these murders-even if it means returning her nemesis to her normal, vindictive state? This book starts with Vega Bloodmire's life before working at Womby's School for Wayward Witches when she was a new and inexperienced teacher at Lady of the Lake School for Girls.
