Courtney Crumrin returns in a series of newly remastered, full color hardcover editions! To her new classmates, Courtney is merely the grim, quiet girl in the back row.

Unfortunately, misfortune seems to follow the group straight to the Twilight Kingdom - misfortune and a misguided lawkeeper who has it out for Courtney!
On the run from the Coven with her former teacher Calpurnia, Courtney Crumrin is quickly learning just how sinister the witches and warlocks of Hillsborough can be-but she never thought she'd see the day when Uncle Aloysius turned on her as well.

But Aloysius won't give up his niece so easily-even if he has to fight the night creatures to do it.
