Sabrina breaks a mirror and discovers that witches face seven full days of bad luck instead of the usual seven years. Each day brings new magical disasters that she must navigate while trying to maintain her normal teenage life. Her troubles multiply when her Quizmaster decides this cursed week is the perfect time to test her abilities. He sends seven different temptations her way, forcing Sabrina to prove her magical skills while everything around her falls apart. The young witch struggles to cast the right spells as bad luck strikes at every turn. She must resist each temptation while dealing with the chaos that follows her broken mirror. These eight connected stories follow Sabrina through her worst week yet, where every spell matters and every choice could make her situation better or worse.
