About the book

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? Desperate to
find someone to break it, she flees, leaving her village behind. Along
the way she meets some wood nymphs and learns that she is part
wood nymph.

And 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 a lazy, reluctant
palace guard. They are pursued by the twin princes of Kellayne, who
are 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 a second spell, a spell that will kill everyone
in the Three Kingdoms.

She lives in the village of Oakenwood, in the
foothills of the Blue Mountains. She's an
apprentice to an herbwoman and lives quietly
with the family who adopted her years earlier,
until a frightening event forces her to leave
everything and everyone she's ever known.

While under the spell, he's been forced to
give up telling tall tales in the cider shop and
become a palace guard instead. Then Tirissa
and Oglo whisk him away on an adventure
more dangerous than any story he's ever told.

She's a crabby old herbwoman who lives
near Oglo the troll. When he asks her to help
Tirissa, the old woman comes up with a
plan, but it will put Tirissa, Oglo, and Storge
into more danger than they can imagine.

His plans to cast a second magic spell
that will kill everyone in the Three
Kingdom. His plans are going nicely until
Tirissa starts looking for someone to
break the spell.
