And that’s why the girl is so afraid of the upcoming journey across the islands, on which she must accompany her Aunt Bek, the most powerful sorceress on Skarra. Eileen seems so helpless and useless! But they set off not for pleasure, but on a royal commission, and the failure of their mission could turn into a big disaster for the entire enchanted archipelago!
