bronze disc of an apprentice – to the glee of her arch-rival,
Gimma – she’s sent to protect the remote, dreary

But her new life is far from boring. Turns out Gimma is the pompous
mayor’s favourite niece – and worse, she opens
a magical rift in the nearby forest.

much more than her pride at stake …
