In a world where magical bonds with creatures define destiny, young Addie must navigate a perilous journey of survival.

Her father, an Area Lord, refuses to teach Addie magic-- insisting she is too young. Instead, Addie goes searching for it on her own. In the process, she finds out her trusted personal maid might not be what she seems. An investigation in a dark basement leads to consequences Addie wishes she hadn’t discovered. But, perhaps she’ll meet someone who can help.

This is an epic fantasy light novel with a young, growing protagonist. Ten-year-old Addie must learn to survive in the wilds without her family, as she finds herself in a dangerous and terror-fraught situation. Her new dragon-like soul-bonded companion, Squishy, is here to help her, and together they'll learn how to use spatial magic to beat back wild magical wolves, unscrupulous witches, and even investigate the dark secrets brewing in the depths of their own home.
