The first book in an exciting and funny fantasy trilogy in the tradition of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones.

Everglade loves to hate witches. And as the daughter of the last witch, Wren Westerly is the most hated person in town. She can only imagine what would happen if the townspeople found out she can actually see magic ... even if she has no idea how to use it.

But when magic leads Wren to an enchanted necklace and reveals her secret, it's not just Everglade chasing her. It's the Eater - a terrifying creature who is determined to drain all magic from the world, and who really, really wants that necklace.

Leaving Everglade with nothing but the necklace, two accidental travel companions, and directions from a goat, Wren finds herself in a new and infinitely more magical world. And she's the only one who can save it from the Eater. That is, if she can figure out magic.

No pressure.

Welcome to the world of Everglade, where the truth about witches is tangled with lies and being yourself is the biggest risk of all.
