The Gypsy Enchantment

The Gypsy Enchantment is the 7th book in the Charmed novels. It was written by Carla Jablonski and was released in 2001.

The story takes place between Season 2 Episode 17 How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans and the Season 3 premiere as Piper has ended her relationship with Dan, but Phoebe has not yet gained her active power of Levitation.

Summary
"Three-ring acts and thice-told tales Bring threefold power that never fails. Gypsy legends, Gypsy lore, Gypsy demons haunt no more."

Prue is in a serious funk. Her latest photo assignment for 415 is an in-depth article about the Carnival Cavalcade—circus acts in a tent, and a midway with games and food. Prue hates circuses, but Piper and Phoebe are up for meeting the tattooed snake-charmer, clowns, and especially Ivan, the handsome Gypsy animal trainer. But a dark sign seems to mark him, and Phoebe has a vision of Piper—strangled by a handsome stranger!

Could Ivan be a demon in disguise? A mysterious fire and a tragic death compel the Charmed Ones to use their gifts. Now it's the Power of Three against the magic of ancient Gypsy forces!
