So when entertainer and fellow telekinetic Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. He’s traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. And he sees Nina not as a witch, but as something more. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are just for fairytales.
