When a chance encounter introduces her to the Lady of the Hills, Agatha is shocked to learn that a secret magical world is hidden in the mist-shrouded land next to her village. She finds herself quickly captivated by the Lady, who tells Agatha she’s special and easily solves problems with her spells.

But is the Lady who she appears to be? As Agatha forms a new friendship, she learns that the Lady is far older and more powerful than she could’ve guessed, and that her plans aren’t as innocent as they appear. Will Agatha be able to protect the people she loves from the Lady’s increasing attention and sinister agenda?
