THE POWER OF THREE

Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell didn't think reading a magical incantation would really work. But it did. Now Prue can move things with her mind, Piper can freeze time, and Phoebe can see the future. They are the Charmed Ones- the most powerful of witches.

But being enchanted has a price. There's a warlock who wants to steal their powers. And he'll do it anyway he can- even if it means killing them!


KISS OF DARKNESS

Something changed Prue Halliwell on New Year's Eve, when a stranger gave her the most passionate kiss of her life. Now Prue feels driven to kiss every man she meets.

At first, Piper and Phoebe think the new Prue is fun. But when Prue grows weaker with every kiss, the Charmed Ones know that evil is at work. Now Piper and Phoebe must save their sister, can they do it with only the Power of Two?

THE CRIMSON SPELL

Prue, Piper, and Phoebe don't know that a coven of warlocks is hunting them. They don't know that one of the warlocks has entered their lives disguised as a friend. And they don't know the coven's mission- to drain them of their magical powers even if it means destroying them to do it!
Now the Charmed Ones must figure out which of their friends is really their enemy. Because sometimes what you don't know- can kill you.

WHISPERS FROM THE PAST

Phoebe Halliwell is having a very bad day: A demon has pulled her centuries into the past. She has no way to tell her sisters she's alive, no way to get back to her own time -- and the demon is trying to kill her.

Back in the present, Prue and Piper are devastated at losing their sister. But that isn't their only problem. Something is wrong with them too. Somehow, they're turning... evil. But why? And how can they stop it -- without the Power of Three?


VOODOO MOON

The Halliwells are on vacation. It's time to party in New Orleans.

But on Prue, Piper, and Phoebe's first night in the Big Easy, Phoebe has a dream filled with images of strange, violent rituals under the full moon.

Soon after a new friend of Prue's disappears - on the night of the full moon! When the Charmed Ones try to find her, they are drawn into a dark world of voodoo sorcery... a powerful magic like nothing the sisters have ever seen.

HAUNTED BY DESIRE

Phoebe Halliwell thinks taking a college course will add some intellectual excitement to her life. And she is definitely excited when she meets Brett, a gorgeous guy in her class. Too bad he's got a jealous ex-girlfriend, Wendy.

When Brett and Phoebe spend time together on a class assignment, Phoebe starts to receive threatening notes. Wendy's the obvious culprit, so why does Phoebe sense that the notes are from someone else-someone with supernatural powers?

THE GYPSY ENCHANTMENT

Prue is in a serious funk-Her latest photo assignment for 415 is an in-depth article about the Carnival Cavalcade-circus acts in tent, and a midway with games and food. Prue hates circuses, but Piper and Phoebe are up for meeting the tattoed snake-charmer, clowns, and especially Ivan, the handsome Gypsy animal trainer. But a dark sign seems to mark him, and Phoebe has a vision of Piper-strangled by a handsome stranger!

Could Ivan be a demon in disguise? A mysterious fire and a tragic death compel the Charmed Ones to use their gifts. Now it's the Power of Three against the magic of ancient Gypsy forces!

THE LEGACY OF MERLIN

Prue lands a summer trip to England to buy medieval books for a collector, so Phoebe and Piper tag along to the quaint village of Hay-on-Wye, in the heart of King Arthur country. While Piper reads how to make love charms from flowers, Phoebe meets the darkly handsome Niall-But she's shaken by a desolate vision of him on a windswept heath, holding an infant. Is Niall a warlock?

Then Piper descovers a secret Druid ritual in progress, with Niall at the center of it! She freezes the group, and the Charmed Ones set out to discover Niall's secret. They learn that a local villager is in terrible danger from the Druids, and only a magical spell from centuries past can save her. The Charmed Ones are convinced that only a long journey can win against the Druids- a voyage back in time to Camelot!

SOUL OF THE BRIDE

Prue's editor at 415 magazine offers her a challenge if she takes a really fantastic photo, he'll run it on the cover. This could be Prue's big break-if she can come up with a killer concept. Then Prue gets the idea to shoot a group of models in the Halliwells' Victorian mansion. She'll even use an antique camera to capture the style of an old time photo.

But when Prue snaps the shutter, all the models collapse into a deathly slumber! To rescue the innocents, the Charmed Ones descend into Hades, fighting underworld perils and uncovering an unholy plot. To rescue the missing models, they must match wits with the greatest of ancient Greek gods-and one of the sisters might not be allowed to return to her mortal life.

BEWARE WHAT YOU WISH

While photographing Stephen Tremaine, a wealthy businessman running for public office, Prue notices an ancient stone statue from South America. Then, the next morning, Prue, Piper,and Phoebe are disturbed by the number of tragic incidents in the news. Wishing she could forsee more calamities in order to prevent them. Phoebe suddenly gets dizzy, but the feeling passes.

Soon Phoebe is having more visions than she can handle-and the sisters can't keep up with the impending accidents and disasters. Then a terrible vision sends the Halliwells to a charity carnival, where Tremaine will face his opponent. The Charmed Ones must summon the Power of Three to avert a tragedy and save San Francisco-if they can find out which disaster to stop!

CHARMED AGAIN

Piper and Phoebe Halliwell are devastated by the loss of their big sister, Prue. But even in their grief they can't forget that, they too, are in mortal danger. The power of the Charmed Ones has been broken, leaving them prey to every form of evil. Even Leo, their whitelighter, and Cole, Phoebe's demon boyfriend, can't protect them.

In frustration and despair, Piper casts a spell to summon a lost witch and bring back her beloved Prue. The spell does work, but not as Piper intended. A lost witch is found-heir to a shocking Halliwell family secret. But can Piper and Phoebe persuade her to assume her powers and complete the Power of Three?

SPIRIT OF THE WOLF

A Native American group is suspected in the bizarre goings-on at new Sierra Nevada resort. Some say the spirit of a powerful shaman and his brother, the wolf, have returned. The only claim the tribe has to the land is a wampum belt, which is missing. The wolf knows where it is, and Phoebe can find out by touching him to cause one of her visions. But now the wolf is hunted-and only the Power of Three can save him.
At a remote resort in the Sierra Nevada Mountains a tree bursts into flames, an animal skull oozes blood, and a wolf threatens to attack, then vanishes like a ghost. The police suspect a nearly extinct Native American group that was forced off the resorts land long ago. Others blame the owners of the resort for defiling sacred tribal lands.

Phoebe and Paige arrive for a pre-opening weekend and some sisterly bonding, but are soon drawn into danger by incidents both natural and unnatural. A powerful shaman holds the key to the mystery with his secret knowledge-knowledge that is shared by the wolf haunting the land. The sisters call upon Piper, Leo, and Cole for guidance-and summon all their powers to confront a demon as cunning as any they have ever encountered!

GARDEN OF EVIL

The Halliwell sisters and their honeys are enjoying a rare afternoon off from fighting evil. Even though the two couples try to keep the vibe free of romance, Paige can't help feeling like a fifth wheel. But where to find a guy who not only embodies everything she wants in a boyfriend but will also understand her witchy lifestyle? Then while saving an innocent, Paige connects-with the girl's boyfriend, Micah.

Micah seems perfect-he's attractive and attentive, and he lives in a beautiful mansion in the hills outside San Francisco. Paige thinks he could be her Prince Charming. But the fairy tale turns sinister when he invites her into his garden-an enchanted prison from which there is no escape, and where the strongest bonds are those of love.

DATE WITH DEATH

As Piper and Leo contemplate parenthood, and Phoebe and Cole enjoy their engagement, Paige is feeling more of a push to find a significant other. In a moment of whimsy, she signs up for an online dating service. Needless to say, she soon finds herself flooded with eager responses. Almost every night she embarks on a new date that seems to lead nowhere- despite the fact that Paige has a perfectly good time when she's out.

Or does she? Befoe long the sisters discover that Paige spends her "dates' in a catatonic trance-she hasn't actually gone anywhere! Soon afterward her suitors are discovered to have committed evil acts: Paige is acting as a conduit for dark powers-and soon she is projecting her energies onto her sisters. Will Piper and Phoebe be able to save her using only the Power of Two?

DARK VENGEANCE

The Charmed Ones are feeling out of sorts. Phoebe misses Cole, who's gone away for a week of solitary reflection. Piper is overwhelmed with the responsibilities of overseeing her household, Charmed affairs, and P3, her nightclub. Paige is still adjusting to her role as a savior of innocents, and is increasingly sensitive to all levels of human pain.

Soon though, Piper is distracted by an energetic musician auditioning to play at the club, Phoebe is making a new friend in her web design class, and Paige is meeting new poeple at the homeless shelter where she volunteers. But it isn't long before the girls discover that a sinister force is working against them; Phoebe's short term memory is shot, Piper can't control her emotions, and Paige feels thoroughly exhausted. At the same time, their powers are diminished. Could their new acquaintances be connected to the threat? It's a real-life family feud-one that could have deadly results....

SHADOW OF THE SPHINX

Paige Mattews is having a minor identity crisis. She is slowly but surely embracing her long lost sisters' witchy ways, but she doesn't want to overstep her boundaries. After all, she wouldn't want to replace Prue Halliwell-even if she could. So Paige considers it a stroke of luck when, one day, her experiments with magic turn her into a cat. Who knew she had a knack for shape-shifting?

One problem: She can't shift herself back. Her sisters inadvertently betray her when they deposit her at a local animal shelter. Suddenly she finds herself familiar of a cult that worships ancient Egyptian deities, and is catapulted into ancient Egypt! Piper and Phoebe discover the identity of a stray cat and rally a rescue mission, only to discover another cat-woman, also entrapped within a fortress-like sphinx.

This kitty in one feline femme fatale, and the sisters are going to have to put human heads together to defeat her!

SOMETHING WICCAN THIS WAY COMES

Paige Mattews is new to the whole "Power of Three" thing, and looking to explore her powers. So when she reads of a Wiccan convention taking place just outside of Las Vegas, she thinks it's a great opportunity for her and for her sisters to learn more about their witchy ways. Though the girls are all over saving innocents, they aren't that heavy into Wicca practices, and Paige thinks the retreat could be enlightening.

Piper and Phoebe however, aren't so sure. They're certain that while they spend their days battling honest-to-badness black magic, their so-called supernatural sisters will be nothing more than a bunch of blessed wanna-bees. Soon though, they hear of a rash of murders committed against practicing Wiccans, and making an appearance at the convention becomes top priority. But as they head for the desert campgrounds, are the Charmed Ones headed straight for disaster?

MIST AND STONE

Paige Mattews is accustomed to the requirements of her job as a social worker, and she's willing to endure substandard pay, long hours, and emotional drain. After all, she wants to make a difference-sometimes in a non-Charmed capacity. But she is unprepared for the anger and rage she encounters in Todd Corman, a young boy who has been bounced from caregiver to caregiver for so long that he doesn't trust authority. Still, Paige is sympathetic and determined to break through.

But when Phoebe stops by the agency for a quick hello, she is rocked by a vision that involves Todd. Strangely, the vision is shrouded in fog. After some investigation, Leo explains that this particular mist has nothing to do with the weather, but rather suggests that Todd's fate may not be set in stone. Todd has been targeted, and if the Charmed Ones are going to reverse destiny, they're going to have to race against the clock!

MIRROR IMAGE

Phoebe Halliwell is stunned when her latest vision involves her younger half sister, Paige. The vision reveals to her that Paige is actually an imposter who will infiltrate the Power of Three and break it apart. However, Piper is dismissive when she learns of Phoebe's concerns-so much that Cole and Leo end up taking sides as well. Before long, all involved are on edge.

Paige senses that her sisters are acting strangely around her, so when she meets Timothy McBride, an attractive young stranger who purports to be a witch, she decides not to tell them. She wants to have something of her own, seperate from her Charmed duties. Secrets are estranging the sisters from one another, and the timing isn't good. Women are turning up all over the city, dead by supernatural causes. The perpetrator may be connected to the sister's past-but if they can't work together, they might not be able to stop him.

SEASONS OF THE WITCHES: VOL. 1

Samhain: 10/31 or Halloween -- traditionally a time for reflection, a time of divination, and a time to honor the ancients. But Phoebe plans to communicate with her ancestors are cut short when she's recruited to help reunite a star crossed magical couple.

Yule: 12/22 or the winter solstice and the longest might of the year. And when Paige enters an all-night party at a local club, she finds herself at the center of an evil plot to bring about permanent midnight.

Imbolc: 2/1 a time when the earliest hopes for spring are fostered and seeds are planted for dreams of the coming summer months. But Piper can't look toward the future -- and having children with Leo when her half-whitelighter, half-witch sister's powers are on the fritz. Is a hybrid baby destined for doom?

BETWEEN WORLDS

The Halliwell sisters are no strangers to Halloween hijinks. But this year, the Wiccan celebration of Samhain is met with a rash of destruction throughout the city. Upon further investigation, the Charmed Ones learn that the demolished buildings they've heard about are actually melting. These sites are in fact the location of dimensional portals, and they're under attack.

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige will need to secure these barriers in order to prevent all havoc from being released. But the demon working against them is no ordinary monster; it's a wraith, the product of a grief-stricken young witch seeking to resurrect her lost love. And hell hath no fury like a women scorned....

TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES

Cole is working late, and her sisters are having a girls' night in, so on the spur of the moment, Phoebe excepts what seems like an innocent date with a friendly stranger. But good intentions are quickly misconstructed when Cole leaves work early to surprise Phoebe-and is stunned to find her sharing her meal with another man.

Cole can't believe that Phoebe would betray him, and Phoebe can't believe Cole would ever think she'd betray him. Their escalating argument quickly highlights some fundamental trust issues they each harbor. But soon they discover themselves trapped in the underworld, at the center of a love-lorn demon's plot to destroy the Power of Three. If Cole and Phoebe can't reconcile their suspicions and insecurities, there's more than their own relationship at risk!

LUCK BE A LADY

Phoebe Halliwell may be ready to turn over a new leaf as a single gal, but her newly re-demonized ex-husband, Cole, isn't ready to let her go. Aware of a supernatural plot against the Charmed Ones, Cole keeps watch over Phoebe, and intercedes at the moment of battle, only to accidentally create a rip in time. Cole disappears to WW2-era Hollywood- and brings the sisters with him!

While the Charmed Ones are no strangers to extreme circumstances, what they didn't anticipate was a demonic stronghold shaking down local businesses. To infiltrate the evil underground, Paige poses as a young starlet, working an entirely different kind of magic before the camera. Meanwhile, Piper is tempted to seek out Leo-in this world, he's still human-and Phoebe is at her wit's end contending with Cole. But a demon henchman is working the black magic mojo on Paige, and if the sisters don't focus, before long they'll find themselves completely out of luck!
 

INHERIT THE WITCH
 
As the  Charmed Ones know, it's difficult to adjust to the idea of having powers and saving innocents-that's one of the reasons that their Grams bound their powers until the sisters were ready to receive them. In fact, many witch clans keep the powers of their young dormant until the recipeint of the power reaches a certain age.


In Juliana O' Farrell's clan, that age is 13-the exact age of her daughter, Lily. By the day after her 13th birthday, though, LIly's powers haven't manifested, and Juliana's worried that a demon may have stripped her daughter's magic. Enter the Halliwell Sisters.


But Lily's to much of a typical teen to welcome witch chaperones. She'd rather smeak out to hang with her rebellious friend, Drew. Could Drew's bad behavior be related to Lily's missing magic? It's going to take the Power of Three to get to the bottom of this adolescent angst!

TALE OF TWO PIPERS
 

 

Too much work and no time for play have made Piper a major stress case. When a seemingly harmless wish comes true, creating two Pipers, it looks like the problem's solved. Two Pipers can do twice as much work, leaving one Piper to party the night away and the other to finally have time to relax. While one Piper's home baking, the other can give an interview. Two Pipers? Too perfect.

But soon it becomes clear that two heads -- and bodies -- aren't always better than one. When Darklighters kidnap Leo and hold him hostage in exchange for the Charmed Ones' powers, one of the Pipers doesn't even seem to care. And then both Pipers' powers fade, leaving them useless and sick. Phoebe and Paige scramble to find a reversal spell, but without Leo's help, and with Piper split in two, will the Power of Three become powerless?





THE BREWING STORM
 
Despite wacky weather threatening the San Francisco area, life for the Charmed Ones is as normal as ever. Normal, that is, until eleven-year-old Tyler Michaels shows up at their door. Tyler, a Firestarter, is on the run from demons. Though the Halliwell sisters have dealt with Tyler before, a glance at the Book of Shadows turns up new, unexpected information about the boy... and the forces which his magic can be harnessed.

Once a century the planets align in such a way that the tides shift and the climate changes, causing unpredictable weather and earthquakes. With the world out of balance the Firestarter is charged with gathering the other Elementals on the Night of Aeolus to perform a sacred ritual. Without this ritual the weather will eventually tear the world apart. But the demons chasing Tyler want to divert the Elemental power and channel it for a dark evil. The Charmed Ones must prevent this from happening at all costs-but the Night of Aeolus is already upon them...

 

Survival Of The Fittest ( Sep 2004)

Alien abduction fever has gripped San Francisco. People everywhere are reporting loved ones missing...only to have them show up at home with no recollection of having been gone. The Charmed Ones can't help but become involved, especially when Phoebe receives a letter to her advice column from a woman who's convinced her sister was "taken." The victim says she was just out, but since she's returned, she's developed an almost demonic devotion to a new workout program.

The workout program in question, created by Meg Winship, has become incredibly popular in the Bay Area. Even Piper, after seeing an infomercial, suddenly finds herself jogging to the "Winship Way." Luckily there's a rally being held in San Francisco in the next few days. Meg Winship herself will appear to further inspire and thank her new disciples. If there's something supernatural involved, as the sisters suspect, the fitness fiesta is their best bet to figure out who-or what- is in charge of the chaos. 
 


Pied Piper

At first Piper thinks it's just a coincidence that she's seeing kids everywhere; since she and Leo have been talking about starting a family, she thinks she's just noticing them more. But then the kids start showing up on the Charmed Ones' front porch and coming into the house uninvited. No matter where Piper dispatches them, they're right back at Halliwell Manor minutes later. And they seem to be forming an orchestra. No one will listen to Piper, or obey her, or even give her a moment alone. Piper starts to wonder if she and Leo can handle starting a family.

While Piper's contemplating diaper rash, Phoebe finds out about a rash of disappearances in San Francisco. Musicians have vanished all over the city, and they were all candidates to conduct a youth symphony. So how has Paige's new love managed to stick around long enough to be the symphony leader? And how does band practice at the Manor fit in with all of this? The Charmed Ones smell a rat, but can they lead all of their Innocents out of danger before the final note is played?

 

Mystic Knoll (Feb. 2005)

All vanquishing and no time for play makes tired, grumpy Charmed Ones. Paige decides that what they need is a family getaway, but where to go? She'd love to explore her witch heritage in Salem, but that doesn't sound very relaxing to Phoebe and Piper, who'd rather spend a week on a quiet beach, soaking up the sun. Sensing a sibling showdown, Leo points out that they can do both. They'll spend a day or two in Salem, then the rest of the time on the beautiful Massachusetts coast. Paige volunteers to make the arrangements.

It seems they've gotten a break from evil-but the airlines and car rental companies haven't been as cooperative. Late flights and wrong directions conspire to sidetrack the travelers, and they find themselves hungry and exhausted and nowhere near Salem. Luckily they happen upon a bed-and-breakfast run by a crotchety old women and her strange, shy granddaughter. They're not your typical innkeepers-and soon Piper, Phoebe, and Paige find that nothing in this small town is typical. It's all a little...well...mystical. Maybe those directions weren't wrong after all-looks like a working vacation for the Charmed Ones!

Changeling Places (April 2005)

Piper is trying to be her usual superwitch self and do it all-run P3, take care of her newborn son, Wyatt, and, of course, save Innocents. Her first week back at work is hard-leaving Wyatt at his day care center makes Piper feel like she's abandoning her son. At least Paige has taken a temp job there, and Wyatt seems perfectly content and safe.

But is he? Piper notices that Wyatt's acting strange, not eating or sleeping according to his normal schedule. Phoebe thinks the baby is just going through a stage, but Piper is not convinced. Several of the center's other charges have been exhibiting the same behavior, and some parents are pulling their children from the center's care. After one toddler asks Paige, "Did they take them because they're the wrong babies?" the sisters discover that someone's swapping babies all over San Francisco. The Charmed Ones spring into action, because not only is Wyatt the most magical being on the planet, but he's also a Halliwell...And nobody messes with the Halliwells!

The Warren Witches (June 1, 2005)

(info from demonsjumble.com)
