For twenty generations, Tilja's family has performed a ritual to renew the forest sickness that protects their valley from invasion. When the magic begins to fade, Tilja and three others begin a journey to find the magician Faheel and ask him to renew his original spell. Dickinson provides the travelers with a wealth of adventure that keeps the narrative moving; the conclusion matches the promise of the ambitious framework.
