Hannah is just a normal girl trying to make it in the cut throat world of fashion and publishing world. However, she's not assertive enough to beat out her co-workers. She's made a list for herself to try and spice up her life. Including visiting a tarot card reader, as "doing something spontaneous." The tarot card reader goes into a trance and forces her to take a blank tarot card. That doesn't stay blank forever...
She loses a big deal with a client, and then has a very unpleasant encounter with her current boyfriend, when she slips on the ice at a bus stop and smacks her head. When she wakes up, she seems to be in a full scale medieval village like from a movie set...except it isn't a movie set. A dark hooded figure whisks her away to safety when the villagers proclaim her as a "WITCH!".
She finds out that she's been transported to a parallel world and landed in the Kingdom of Pentacles. Where she's needed to overcome the evil in order to be transported back to her own world, with the help of her broody male sidekick who seems to know way to much about magick.
