The witches of the castle of Malie know their craft. No one has ever managed to steal the ancient spell that they have guarded for centuries. None of those who tried survived, and none were able to tell the truth. But the world was full of legends, and in every fairy tale, as you know, there is only a portion of fiction. The Soul Catcher—the spell protected by terrible witches—was one of those legends… until an orphaned soul appeared and, on its own battered skin, discovered that everything that seemed like fiction to her was true: dragons, and the witches of Malie, and the Soul Catcher, which had almost become a real mouse trap for her.
