Synopsis[]

For a complete plot of The War on Witches, go here.

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 realms, a dangerous new threat emerges.

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.

Notes and Trivia[]

  • This is the first novel to feature all four sisters at the same time.
  • Victor and Prue reunited in this novel.
  • In "Charmed Again, Part 2", Phoebe told Piper that her ex-boyfriend's cat peed on Prue's black jacket, but Prue got mad at Piper because she thought she was the one who borrowed it. She never learned the truth even after she died. In this book, Phoebe finally told Prue the truth, but Prue had already forgotten about it.
  • Piper placed the picture Prue took of the Golden Gate Bridge at the top of her restaurant's new menu. Prue took the photo shortly before her death, which was then developed by Piper after her funeral. Piper later showed the new menu to Prue and informed her that it was her way of always having a piece of her there.
  • Since Penny Halliwell could never afford the trip with the three girls, Phoebe spent the first ten years of her life believing Disney Land was entirely a fantasyland. It was only one of many harmless lies their Grams told them growing up.
  • It was revealed that besides her Whitelighter duties and working at Magic School, Paige also works a couple of days at Social Services. She is also helping Piper with the restaurant by taking reservations over the phone.
  • Paige and her family are living in the manor with Piper and her family while her home is being restored after Tamora caused the fire.
  • Because Prue possesses the power of projection, she is able to decorate the Nexus 'Manor' in any way she chooses, and can re-decorate as often as she wants.
  • Even though Phoebe's book is not out yet, there is already a ton of publicity surrounding it, suggesting it will become extremely popular.
  • Phoebe mentions that P.J. has developed her first crush on a fellow daycare playmate. Unfortunately, she beamed him back to the house and Coop had to rush to return the little boy before his parents found out he was missing.
  • Tamora and Kat still have their powers bound, although Paige feels uncomfortable about it.
  • Prue is a Harry Potter fan.

Continuity Errors[]

  • Paige drinks white wine in this book. She stopped drinking a long time ago.
  • Paige's Wiccan powers were bound at birth. In truth, she never inherited any Wiccan powers due to the prophecy of the Charmed Ones.
