Sent from London to escape the Blitz during WWII, stage magicians and twin sisters Phil and Fee Albion discover the hamlet of Bittersweet isn't doing its part for the war. The reason: the Stour, a college of actual magicians, is using the town for camouflage. Much intrigue and romance transpires as the feisty sisters fight off German infiltrator magicians in this rousing fantasy.
