Greta must save her brother Hans from a cannibal witch in a chicken-legged cottage by finding the magical cornucopia. With help from a centaur boy, she returns to Belladoma (the city from companion novel Monstrous, where she was nearly sacrificed to a sea monster) and discovers her family's true history. Greta struggles with complex moral dilemmas, but her self-obsessed perspective limits the narrative.
