Summary
What happens when a wizard dies? What happens when that wizard is Hecate Hardbroom's father? Hecate is forced into a year-long mourning ritual that she doesn't want to participate in. Pippa offers to observe the period with her. Through Hecate's memories of the past, Hecate and Pippa grow closer.
Hecate's father was dead. He was dead and ever since she had gotten the news, had left Cackle's for her family's estate, she had been moving by rote and rite from one day to the next. Each day had its tasks and she accomplished them without real thought.
She could not say that she had gotten along with her father, but that didn't matter now. The passion that had fueled their arguments when she was a teenager had cooled considerably sometime after her mother's death, left suddenly alone with each other as they were. She could barely remember the feeling of those fights now, their relationship replaced with a facade of indifference.

Summary
Hecate Hardbroom is a spinster maiden aunt who has been left in charge of her rakish brother’s brood of illegitimate children upon his death. What she lacks in maternal instinct, she more than makes up for in her dogged desire to see that each and every girl in her charge receives a top education - so much so that she takes their studies into her own hands to see that it’s done properly. But soon, growing troubles with the estate pull her from the schoolroom and she finds herself fighting to protect the girls from utter destitution. Overwhelmed, she finds it necessary to engage a governess.
Requirements? Formidable. Bluenosed. Disinclined to wear pink.
Pippa Pentangle is none of those things. But she’s here to stay, and Hecate finds there’s little she can do about it.
