T*Witches # 1 blew out of the stores and became the hottest series launch of summer 2001. In the thrilling climax of this 6-book arc, T*Witches Camryn and Alex finally meet their birth mother. Unfortunately, she is physically and mentally broken; far from the powerful witch they imagined her to be. As more and more family secrets are revealed, the girls discover that there is a price to pay for the reunion with their mother. Their beloved guardian Karsh is killed while protecting them. And the person responsible for both their acts...is their murderous and evil Uncle Thantos.
