In a town where every year a baby is sacrificed to the witch of the forest, Xan, a kind witch, rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing them with starlight on the journey. One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna's thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge - with dangerous and thrilling consequences. This is an epic fantasy about a young girl raised by a witch, a swamp monster, and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon, who must unlock the powerful magic buried deep inside her.
