When the Warding Tree of Protection crashes to the ground and cripples the town, Em is up for the challenge of finding a solution. As she travels south to the glamourous capital city, she finds magic all around her. A shape-shifting book guides her. A never-empty flask sustains her. An improbable relationship blossoms.
