Belladonna Silverweb was amazed when she found out she could do magick. Her parents couldn't do magick, but her Great Grandmother Lavendar could. Bella went to spend the summer with her Great Grandmother and found out all about the families past. most of the women in the family were witches and some had even been tried and found guilty at the Salem Witch Trials in Massecheutts. She was so facinated that she began a family tree and tried to trace it back as far as she could. she found out that the only women in the family so far that had not had magickal powers were her mother and her grandmother. There were still people in Salem who wanted the Silverweb Family out at any cost. Some people still held on to the old prejudices that were once in practice. This upset Bella very much. People always seem to fear things they cannot understand, things and people that are different from them and what they believe.
Bella visited her Great Grandmother Lavendar every summer and everytime school let out for vacation. She wanted to find out all she could about the family and her powers. She wanted to prove to the people that witches are not all bad.
