About the book: year / Every year, the inhabitants of the Protectorate leave a child as a sacrifice to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope that this sacrifice will calm her down and stop her from torturing the townspeople. But the forest witch, Xan, is kind and gentle. She shares a home with a wise swamp monster named Glerk and an absolutely tiny dragon, Firian. Xan rescues abandoned children and delivers them to good families on the other side of the forest, feeding the children with starlight along the way. One day, Xan accidentally gives the child the light of the Moon instead of starlight, filling the child with magic. She decides that she must raise an abandoned child - and calls her Luna, her granddaughter. To keep Luna's youth safe from the power of her own powers, Xan hides magic in the depths of her mind. When Luna is about to turn thirteen, her magic begins to awaken - but Xan is far away! And the young man from the Protectorate intends to free his people by killing the witch. And soon the Moon will protect those who protected her - even if it means destroying the entire safe little world that she knew. The famous author of "The Witch Boy" has created another wonderful fairy tale that is bound to become a modern classic..
