A medieval festival. An outing with friends. With costumes and their magic locked away, no one will suspect they're wizards, right?
Fifteen-year-old Raven wants nothing more than to spend the day talking to his smart and fun neighbor, Willow, but his gran has other plans for their outing to a human medieval faire. It's a test for the young wizards from their hidden island, a trial in passing as human, and everyone must take it seriously. The teens have received strict instructions, from dressing up in old-style costumes to locking away their magic and not even breathing words like spells and magic.
Fine, Raven will go along. Except...Salm-older and charming-is paying too much attention to Willow. With no help coming from Beri, his adopted brother who is grumpier than an old badger, scornful glares from Oyster and many interruptions by Coral, Salm's annoying younger sister, Raven's only hope to catch Willow's eye might be the faire's squire competition.
Deep in his own plans, Raven overlooks his friends are suffering their own growing pains, especially Beri when the trial forces him to confront the uneasy memories of his mother's death. When one slip threatens their wizard background, can the teens work together to rescue their friends and family?
