But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The โruinmarkโ she was born with on her palm proves itโand makes the other villagers fearful and suspicious that she is a witch.But the mysterious traveler One-Eye sees Maddyโs mark not as a defect, but a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap that One-Eye can teach her about runes, cantrips, and glamoursโevery ounce of magic she can commandโif she is to survive that destiny. * โHarris creates a glorious and complex world replete with rune-based magical spells, bickering gods, exciting adventures and difficult moral issues.โโPublishers Weekly, Starred
