SYNOPSIS
Winter is attending the Solacer Wynd School of Technical Magic and Tavern Management, and she has a problem. It’s one of the least impressive schools in town, and she is one night away from flunking out completely. Unlike every other wizard attending, she cannot cast a single spell. Before the night is over, she must face her past, a ghost, her idiot classmates, her obsequious familiar, and the power of the night itself. It’s Fifth Turn, the solstice, the night when magic flows and sings with more power than any other night. If she can’t cast a spell tonight, she never will.
