Having won the ultimate battle against the forces of darkness, Piper,
Phoebe, and Paige—The Charmed Ones— are looking forward to a hard-earned, peaceful future. But when Phoebe’s
former love, Cole, returns from the dead and the sisters are reunited with Prue, now imprisoned at the magical convergence between the

As seemingly normal mortals violently steal the magic of witches, The
Charmed Ones must shield their kind while protecting themselves from a modern-day witch hunt.
Charmed:
The War on Witches continues the story of the Halliwell witches, picking up where the hit television series, Charmed, left off. With only
the Book of Shadows to guide them, the Halliwell sisters are the fulfillment of their ancestor Melinda Warren’s prophecy that three sisters
descending from her line would become the most powerful witches of all time. As The Charmed Ones, the sisters use the Power of Three to
protect the innocent and banish evil from the Earthly realm.
