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

It certainly runs a lot faster than your grandma's laptop ever did, but at least it's not so different that you have to get used to something new all over again. After so much change in your life, you don't need anything else.


This morning, there isn't much in the news—or in your inbox. Tobias just moved into his new dorm yesterday, and he's sent you a few pictures of it now that he's decorated with a few posters and some little plants.


Just then, however, you realize what time it is—and at once you get to your feet. You don't have time to waste.
