The first book in an exciting and funny fantasy trilogy in the tradition of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones.
Everglade loves to hate witches. And as the daughter of the last witch, Wren Westerly is the most hated person in town. She can only imagine what would happen if the townspeople found out she can actually see magic ... even if she has no idea how to use it.
But when magic leads Wren to an enchanted necklace and reveals her secret, it's not just Everglade chasing her. It's the Eater - a terrifying creature who is determined to drain all magic from the world, and who really, really wants that necklace.
Leaving Everglade with nothing but the necklace, two accidental travel companions, and directions from a goat, Wren finds herself in a new and infinitely more magical world. And she's the only one who can save it from the Eater. That is, if she can figure out magic.

Ever since her mother was killed for being a witch, Wren has lived with her cantankerous aunt in the town of Everglade. Witches are banned in Everglade, so Wren can’t let anyone know that she might have magical powers, which she most definitely does, if she only knew how to use them.
When Wren finds a magical necklace and others discover her magic, she is forced to outwit a terrifying creature called the Eater, who wants the necklace, and then climb over the wall that encircles their city to escape Everglade forever. With Wren’s best friend Blue following her and a goat-boy she accidentally summoned inside a fairy circle, they travel to a magical place called Meadow Court, where there just might be other witches, or at least relief from a world of witch‑haters.
