One day twelve-year-old Tirissa discovers that everyone in her village is under a spell. Everyone but her! Then she sees a mysterious stranger change into a huge bird, a bird with a beak like a sword. Did he cast the magic spell? She's desperate to find someone who can break it,so she flees, leaving her village behind. She soon meets some wood nymphs and learns that she is part wood nymph, too! An old herbwoman tells her to seek help from a wizard who lives far away, and her journey takes her across the Three Kingdoms. Along the way she's joined by a kindly troll and an overweight, lazy palace guard. They are pursued by the twin princes of Kellayne, the best hunters in the Blue River Kingdom, as well as by the huge, dangerous bird. Meanwhile, an evil wizard watches Tirissa and her friends in his magic mirror and plans to cast a second magic spell that will kill everyone in the Three Kingdoms. |

About Willow |
When I was a little girl, we lived in a house that had peach and apple trees in the back yard and a willow tree in front. I loved to play out under the trees--they were my friends. And I loved to read books like The Wizard of Oz and Wind in the Willows. That little girl is alive and well in my heart and she's the one who insisted I start writing a fantasy novel--AND create a fantasy map of the Three Kingdoms. |

I loved this story! I can't wait to read this story to my daughters when they get older - but for now, I'll enjoy rereading it for myself. Full of adventure and fantasy, this is a great story for anyone who believes in magic. |
