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.

She gestures over to the corner of the packed room, where a small space has been cleared to make room for a stool and a microphone. An acoustic guitar is propped up against the wall, presumably waiting for its owner to come and start playing.


"So—how have you been, Huknock?" Rana asks once you've gotten settled. "Tobias was telling me the other day that he was picking some of his college classes, which is really exciting. What have you been doing lately?
