Special Edition, the first book of The Harrow Saga, follows Molly and Elizabeth as they discover a magical world beneath a sycamore tree. In the fantastical realm of the Harrow, they confront a long-dormant evil intent on destruction. Guided by their uncle's cat, the girls join forces with wizards and allies to battle dark forces using the enchanted Lia Fail stone, which empowers Molly as the rightful Queen of Ahlgren.
