When you were a kid, you lived with your grandmother in the small town of Silvertree, on the edge of a magical forest. Grandma is a witch, and she taught you how to use your magic to affect the natural world, too. “Magic is a part of you,” she always told you. “Learning how to use it means figuring out who you are.”

Now you’re 19 and on your own. After years of living in the forest while you perfected your witchcraft, you’ve returned to take care of your grandmother’s house and crow-familiar while she’s gone. Figuring out who you are feels more important than ever - not to mention, figuring out what Silvertree is. A lot is just as you remembered: the friendly generous next-door neighbors with a kid just your age, the proud town council, the quaint little shops with quirky punny names, the gentle shadowy forest full of magic.

Stone in the shoe

Dina is halfway through opening her mouth as you raise your hand—and just like that, you suddenly have her full attention.


"Yes, the person in the second row," she says, leaning towards you. "Do you have a question?"


"Um…yes," you reply. "I'd like to ask something."


Face burning with determination (yep, definitely determination), you try to gather all of your powers of persuasion as you clear your throat and prepare to speak in front of a crowd for the first time in your life.


Finally, you fix your eyes on Mr. Clarence—whom you can't help but see is not in the least apprehensive. You can only hope your public speaking skills are good enough to rely on as you address the visitor.
