The Tiny Witch from the Deep Woods

Growing up deep in the forest, Misha is a thirteen-year-old girl learning how to craft medicine from nature’s bounty, but she’s also picked up a tremendous amount of knowledge from her mother, an estranged member of a distant tribe of remarkably skilled apothecaries. When tragedy draws the pair out of their forest home, Misha finds herself confronted with a grim truth: all the knowledge in the world is of no help if she doesn’t have the experience to put it to use. Faced with her own inadequacy, the young girl resolves to learn how to put her gifts to use properly. Her world is about to expand far beyond the forest she once called home.

After a surprisingly long journey, Misha arrives in the Kingdom of Redford. Her identity as one of the People of the Forest grants her an exceptionally warm welcome, though her first taste of high society ends up being a bit bewildering for her. However, it’s not long before she’s back in her element. After a few days of living in Redford Castle, she encounters the king’s younger sister, a frail and sickly girl just about Misha’s age. Driven by her insatiable curiosity, she can’t help but investigate what is causing the princess’s illness, even when it leads her to butt heads with Redford’s nobility.
