All of the Bast mysteries are exactly that, mysteries. What makes them different is that Bast is a modern Wiccan that truly lives and believes the tenets of Wicca as she understands them. These aren't Bewitched or Charmed back drops. The Wicca and Neopagan community of the 1990's is realistically portrayed in all its good, bad, ugly, silly and serious glory. Bast seeks answers to questions both within and without. Even when those answers bring her personal pain. This is the first book of a trilogy. Books are best read in chronological order.
