Is the world the way you see it? At the very edge of the picturesque town of Dorfstadt, at the foot of the Mountain, lives a young witch. For most people, though, she’s just an ordinary herbalist. Only those who are willing to close their eyes to the boundaries of everyday life can learn the true nature of Kat.
Such people include, for example, the little impressionable Mary-Lou, her mischievous brother Wally, and the sensible, curious teenager Roger. There’s also Ben, a tourism instructor, whom Kat will accidentally save.
Their fates intertwine; magic fills the ordinary, and their real calling is about to reveal itself.
