She knows the Brothers of Wol are up to no good, so why are they changing the rules all of a sudden?

Starfell is on the edge of disaster. The fight against Silas, the wizard determined to steal all magic for himself, is far from over—but how can Willow make a difference when her powers have been taken?

There, she hopes to find the Craegun, a powerful beast believed to restore anything that has been lost—for a heavy price. The mission is fraught with danger, but there’s no turning back...or the magic of Willow’s world will be lost forever.

Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, recently saved the world.

There's no doubt that Tori is winning the game of life. She's inspired millions of women to stick two fingers up at convention with her best-selling memoir, and she has the perfect relationship to boot. But Tori Bailey has been living a lie.

And when her best friend Dee - her plus one, the only person who understands the madness - falls in love, suddenly Tori's in terrifying danger of being left behind.

Willow Moss once considered herself rather unimpressive. But after saving the world of Starfell from certain ruin, she’s feeling a tiny bit proud. The only problem?

So when her dear friend Nolin Sometimes sends her a desperate plea for help, Willow seizes the chance to prove herself once more. With the help of her old crew, Willow sets out on an adventure that puts her face-to-face with the mysterious Queen of the Undead—and if she fails, Willow may lose her friends and her magic forever.

For the first time ever, Willow Moss is going to school. Magical children have long been barred from attending school.

Willow, though hesitant, embarks on this new path with her usual courage and determination. On her first day, she meets new friends Twist and Peg, who will soon become her next partners-in-adventure.
