  When her little village is overrun by all manner of creatures, a young witch’s talents are tested: “The exuberant chaos is charming.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  Arianwyn is a fully qualified witch now, but somehow magic doesn’t feel any easier than it did in her apprentice days. The Hex has driven all manner of supernatural creatures out of the Great Wood and into her little town—some benign, others dark, and others downright mischievous. The Spellorium has never been so busy! 
   
  What’s more, the High Elder has set her a dangerous secret mission. With Gimma acting weirder than usual and her friendships crumbling under pressure, Arianwyn faces the toughest spell of her witching career. Can she really see it through alone?
