A continuation of the story about the witch Voronikhа and her granddaughter, who begins to seriously learn magic from her grandmother. It turns out the witch’s great-grandson is the only heir on the other side of the family line—so the boy becomes interested in his mother’s work. This chapter also introduces the first thread involving dark wizards, who will significantly influence Katya’s and her children’s future life. Life in the village keeps moving, and passions there are far from calm. There are both elections for the chair position and love for other men.
