Gli orfanotrofi sono posti orribili. Ma Earwig adora il St. Morwald perché, da quando è stata lasciata ancora in fasce all’ingresso dell’stituto, tutti fanno esattamente quello che vuole. Le cose cambiano il giorno in cui una coppia un po’ inquietante (che si sforza di apparire normale) decide di adottare proprio lei. Earwig viene così catapultata nella misteriosa abitazione di Bella Yaga e Mandragora, tra stanze segrete, pozioni e libri di magia, e non ci metterà molto a scoprire che la sua nuova ‘mamma’ è una strega, con tutte le conseguenze che ne derivano! Ma grazie alla sua intelligenza e al prezioso aiuto di Thomas, un gatto parlante, Earwig troverà il modo di farsi rispettare. Una piccola storia di grande coraggio, che insegna a non abbattersi mai, nemmeno quando tutto sembra prendere la piega sbagliata.

Can a princess of the Dark side with the Light? The forces of the God of Light and the Goddess of Darkness have waged a ruthless war across the land of Toyoashihara for generations. But for 15-year-old Saya, the war is far away and unimportant--until the day she discovers that she is the reincarnation of the Water Maiden and a princess of the Children of the Dark. Raised to love the Light and detest the Dark, Saya must come to terms with her heritage even as she tumbles into the very heart of the conflict that is destroying her country. The armies of the Light and Dark both seek to claim her, for she is the only mortal who can awaken the legendary Dragon Sword, the fearsome weapon destined to bring an end to the war. Can Saya make the dreadful choice between the Light and Dark, or is she doomed--like all the Water Maidens who came before her…?
