Then Cassie finds a message from her in an old book of spells in her mother's old nursery and she slowly begins to believe the magic. But 16 years ago a terrible accident happened, in which Cassie's father, Adam's mother, Diana's mother, Faye's father, Melissa's mother and both of Nick's parents died. The six young people now want to find out what really happened back then, because they know that it was not an accident.

main characters

Cassie Blake
She lived in California with her mother, Amelia. However, when her mother dies in a seemingly tragic fire accident, she moves to live with her lovable grandmother Jane in gloomy Chance Harbor, Washington. There she quickly befriends Diana and her attractive boyfriend Adam. Cassie feels very drawn to Adam and he shows her what powers lie dormant in her. At first she battles her newfound skills, but when she does research on her family, she finds out that her ancestors were all witches. So she decides to join the witches' circle. Through Jake (for whom she has also developed feelings) she then learns that her father was John Blackwell. This one carried dark magic, which he passed on to Cassie. Eventually she gets together with Adam, but then learns from her father that although Cassie and Adam are written in the stars, there is a curse on love. They take a magic potion that will make them forget their feelings for the other. However, this only works with Adam.
Adam Conant
Alongside his steadfast girlfriend Diana, he is the oldest member of the witch's circle of his generation. With the addition of Cassie, whom he is very attracted to, the group of young witches would be complete. But since Cassie is reluctant, Adam shows her what powers she really has. The bond with Cassie will test Adam's relationship with Diana. This bond is explained by his father by saying that it is in the stars that the Blake and Conant families are meant for one another. Diana separates from him for this reason. He later meets with Cassie. Because of the curse, the two drink a magic potion that should make them forget their feelings for each other.
Diana Meade
She is Adam's friend. Both are the oldest members of the witch circle. Diana quickly becomes friends with Cassie, who has just moved to town. But Diana realizes that Cassie and Adam get along more than well. After Ethan (Adam's father) tells her that Cassie and Adam are meant to be, she breaks up with him. She also learns that her real father is John Blackwell and that Cassie is her half-sister. So Diana has dark magic in her too. Then she gets involved with the handsome non-witcher Grant, with whom she falls in love. It later emerges that she and Cassie are half sisters.
Faye Chamberlain
She is the daughter of high school principal Dawn and the most popular and scheming girl in her school. Her friend and henchman Melissa supports her power games and intrigues. Your father died in an accident caused by his circle. Faye is obsessed with power and uncontrollable, which is why she initially doesn't want the circle to be closed. When she almost kills Sally, however, she agrees. After she hates not being able to exercise skills on her own, she visits the voodoo priest Lee. Feelings develop between the two and they come together.
Melissa Glaser
She is Faye's best friend and loyal to her. She also supports Faye in everything she does. However, she realizes that she does not want to be in her shadow forever and wants to express her own opinion, while she develops strong feelings for Nick, which is why she is very affected after his death and turns away from Faye. She starts taking the drug Devil Spirit through Callum .
Charles Meade
He is the father of Diana and the murderer of Emilia. He and Dawn have a special interest in Cassie.
Dawn Chamberlain
Dawn makes a living as the principal of the high school. She is the mother of Faye. She used to be friends with Cassie's mother, Emilia, and in love with Cassie's father. She is also informed about the witches' coven and has a great interest in Cassie.
Jane Blake
Jane is the lovable and kind grandmother of Cassie, who enjoys taking in her granddaughter after the tragic death of her daughter. She works as a nurse in the local hospital. After a demon takes possession of Melissa, Cassie tells Jane about the new coven of witches. Since then, Jane has been helping the coven and educating them about dangers. However, when Charles erased part of her memory, she is no longer the same.
Nick Armstrong
He has lost both parents, which is why he lives with his aunt in the house next to Cassie. He doesn't care much about social contacts and is a brooding loner. Nevertheless, he is a member of the town's witch club and develops strong feelings for Melissa. After a demon takes possession of him, he is drowned by Charles, as the only way to kill a demon is by drowning or burning.
Jake Armstrong
He is Nick's older brother, who moves back to Chance Harbor after Nick's death. He's also a witch, and since Nick was a member of the coven and thus his entire bloodline, he is now part of the coven as well. He's an edgy and charming guy who used to have an affair with Faye, into which she interpreted more. He is a witch hunter whose mission is to kill all of the witches in Chance Harbor. He initially shows an interest in Cassie, much to the displeasure of Fayes and Adams. However, when he has real feelings for Cassie, he warns her about himself and his accomplices.

After Cassie's mother is killed in a fire, she moves to live with her grandmother in Chance Harbor, where her mother had lived years ago. On her first day of school she meets Diana, who she invites to come to the boathouse later. Once there, however, she meets Faye and her best friend Melissa, whereupon she leaves again. After getting into her car, it suddenly catches fire and the door no longer opens. Diana's friend Adam, with whom Cassie feels a strong bond, then saves her and drives her home. The next day Cassie wants to tell her grandmother about the strange events of yesterday, but Diana intercepts her and takes her to an abandoned house in the woods.

There she finds Faye, Melissa and Adam as well as her neighbor Nick, who then tell her about her secret together. They are all descendants of witches and with the arrival of Cassie their circle has been completed. But Cassie doesn't believe a word they say and disappears. Adam follows her and shows her the power they all have by making the surrounding water float. There is almost a kiss between them. Meanwhile, Faye tries out her new powers and overestimates herself, so that Cassie has to calm down the storm that Faye had conjured up. Meanwhile, Faye's mother and Diana's father have very different plans for Cassie and the Circle.

Cassie wants nothing to do with the coven and prefers to lead a normal life in Chance Harbor, so she befriends Sally Matthews. Meanwhile, Faye's grandfather Henry has come to visit unexpectedly. Ethan took him into town to tell him that Charles used magic and threatened him, but Henry has doubts because all members of the Circle were deprived of their powers after the accident. Diana, meanwhile, fears that the Circle's newfound power could spiral out of control and urges it to be closed. But Faye doesn't listen and enjoys the growth of her strength. Meanwhile, Melissa starts flirting with Nick, although Faye has advised her to stay away from him.

Meanwhile, Adam and Cassie are fighting against their feelings for each other. At the festival there is an argument between Sally and Faye, whereupon Faye unintentionally pushes her over the railing with the help of her magic and hits her on the stones below. Dawn rushes over and heals Sally with the help of her magic and the crystal she had previously received from Charles. The teenagers then come together in the boathouse and decide to come full circle based on what has happened. Henry observed the event and asks Dawn to give him the crystal. However, the latter uses the crystal against him and thus causes him a heart attack and he collapses lifeless.
