A hereditary witch without a gift, Elaine Melton, works at a corner cafe where she tells stories and serves visitors the most delicious herbal tea in the entire sunny town of Marzali. Her parents died, and her twin sister disappeared when she was a child. Elaine was raised by two clairvoyant aunts, who at all costs wanted to awaken in her the powers inherent in the roots of the family, but the gift did not give in, and the girl had to exist as a person, which she found only advantages. The measured routine ended when one evening, a frightened woman in bloody rags came to their house, animated by witchcraft, giving Elaine the most desired treasure for any creature - her own blood. The brutal murder of a stranger shook the whole of Hungary, forcing the dominant clan of vampires to intervene in the investigation, dragging the young witch into unraveling intrigues, intertwined like snakes behind her back, and a dishonest game.
