Talking to a tree is a sure sign you're crazy. But every once in awhile, you can't help but stop and admire the beauty of a tree you've never seen before. After twenty-two years of the trees not talking back, Sasha has learned to stop trying to talk to trees. Now if only she could stop tripping over their roots on her way, she might learn to stop hoping they'll help her back up. less

Some people like to dip their toes in the water before walking slowly into a pool. Some can't stand cold moving higher and higher, and dunk themselves to get over with. Sasha has decided neither of those is going to be fast enough to get her used to the pool of Witchcraft she got splashed with, so the only option left is to dive head-first into the deep end.

Personal goals and personal limits; Sasha's plunging dive into the world of witches sinks to even greater depths. Time is running out before the Walpurgis Soiree, before the time comes to prove herself. But just how much time does it take to do what comes naturally to a person?
