Summary: "Aster always looks forward to the Midwinter Festival, a reunion of the entire Vanissen family that includes competitions in witchery and shapeshifting. This year, he's especially excited to compete in the annual Jolrun tournament--as a witch. He's determined to show everyone that he's proud of who he is and what he's learned, but he knows it won't be easy to defy traditions. Ariel has darker things on her mind than the festival--like the mysterious witch who's been visiting her dreams, claiming to know the truth about Ariel's past. She appreciates everything the Vanissens have done for her. But Ariel still craves a place where she truly belongs. The festival is a whirlwind of excitement and activity, but for Aster and Ariel nothing goes according to plan. When a powerful and sinister force invades the reunion, threatening to destroy everything the young witches have fought for, can they find the courage to fight it together? Or will dark magic tear them apart?"--Dust jacket flap.
