She almost laughed. Was Abby leading a coven or an online chat? Surely this had to be a ridiculous story. Sylvia had been present at the party Abigail had thrown at Geap Manor. The people she invited came from somewhere, and they weren't all Daybreak witches. If this was true, Abby was in a weaker position than she had thought, but frankly she found it hard to believe.

"Oh dear," she said. "A coven isn't a coven if you don't know who its members are. A coven is a circle of trust. You're not lying to me, are you, Abigail?"

If there was one thing Sylvia disliked, it was deception.
