Evil thoughts and dark desires
Boil and burn in a wicked brew!
Throw hate and fear into the fire
May friends and lovers both be true
Prue, Piper and Phoebe don't know that a coven of warlocks is hunting them. They don't know that one of the warlocks has entered their lives disguised as a friend. And they don't know the coven's mission—to drain them of their magical powers, even if it means destroying them to do it!
Now the Charmed Ones must figure out which of their friends is really their enemy.
Because sometimes what you don't know—can kill you.

Major[]
Prue Halliwell: The eldest sister with the power of Telekinesis. She befriends a woman who owns a wicca shop, completely unaware of her friend's involvement with darkness.
Piper Halliwell: The middle sister with the power of Molecular Immobilization. Piper volunteers to a program to help orphaned kids and befriends a young girl named Celeste.
Phoebe Halliwell: The youngest sister with the power of Premonition. She has recently begun lessons in karate, where she meets a handsome man named Kenji. The man who seems to hold her heart is not what he claims to be.
Support[]

Kenji Yamada: Occult reporter pretending to be a member of the Coven of the New Sun. Phoebe's love interest, sent to get close to her.
Justin Morgan Leader of the Coven of the New Sun, and head of the Sunrise Center. He set up for Adrienne, Celeste and Kenji to get close to the sisters separately so that they may weaken their powers before claiming them. His power was Shapeshifting.
Adrienne: A warlock member of the Coven of the New Sun, and owner of Full Moon. She was sent to get close to Prue.
Sensei Towers: Phoebe's karate teacher. A young Jamaican man with a 3rd-degree black belt.
Joey: Busboy working at P3. He accidentally cut himself once. When Piper accidentally froze herself, Joey saved her from a falling shelf.
Teenage Boy: This boy saved Prue when she was about to be hit by an SUV.
Unnamed Witch: The witch was kidnapped and offered a place to the coven. When she refused, they executed her, incinerated her body with the Power Crystal and her power taken.

Craig: Bartender at P3. He and Laura had to take the busboy Joey to the emergency room after he accidentally cut his hand open.
The content is mostly unknown, but Prue read that the 'new sun' referred to a source of power they called upon. They tried to destroy the Warren line back in 1888, but failed. The red ribbons they sent out were magical talismans of some kind, and they were used as spells that the coven has put in place.
Green as grass, green as the ocean's curl, Light become web and bind he who'd harm the girl. Green is the light, green shall it bend, Bind this warlock and hold till time's end!
Protection Spell[]
This spell includes sage, salt, a shell for burning the sage, poke root, yarrow, a white candle, and other ingredients.
Bind him hard, bind him fast. Throughout time shall this spell last.
Other Spells[]
Prue tried to cast a spell to bind a warlock and Phoebe together, which since her powers were inverted, would separate them. But she stopped midway when the warlock was about to deliver a death blow on Phoebe.
The sisters cast a memory spell on Kenji to erase his memory of them being witches.
Molecular Immobilization: Used by Piper to freeze Celeste and snoop around her room, attempt to freeze a falling shelter (but it froze her instead), accidentally froze herself again when she tried to freeze three warlocks, freeze a warlock attacking Phoebe, and finally stop Justin Morgan.
Premonition: Used by Phoebe to see Ken being attacked, but was attacked herself.
Telekinesis: Used by Prue to throw empty bottles into the recycling bin, fight off warlocks, attempt to stop a car from crushing her, and later attempt to throw a pillow but it flew toward her instead. When a warlock tried to plunge a dagger into Phoebe, she instinctively tried to separate them but sent the warlock toward Phoebe instead. Finally, she used it to pin Kenji to a wall.
Artifacts[]
Book of Shadows: The Halliwell family's tome of spells and information.
On the Russian version cover page it mistakenly shows Phoebe, Piper and Paige of the 5th season.
Phoebe has her own car in this novel, while on the show, she doesn't get one until after "Witch Way Now?".
Glitches[]
While freezing Celeste, Piper noticed when her power was wearing off. This is inaccurate as the negation is instantaneous.
Another error, Piper was aware of her surroundings when she accidentally froze herself. This should not have been the case, since whoever was frozen would have their consciousness frozen as well.
Noted in the book, Prue has some innate sensing ability, demonstrated when Adrienne tried to project telekinetic powers.
