Deep in the walls of a witches' cottage lays an ancient magical kitchen. Dangling over that kitchen's cauldron, pinched between the fingers of
two witches, is a toad. And the Toad has no idea how she got there, and
no memory of even her name. All she knows is she doesn't think she was
always a Toad, or that she's ever been here before. Determined to
recover her memories she sets out on a journey to the oracle, and along
the way picks up a rag-tag team of friends: an iron-handed imp, a
carnivorous fairy, and a few friendly locals.
But the Kitchen
won't make it easy. It is pitch black, infinite, and impossible to
navigate, a living maze. Hiding in dark corners are beastly, starving
things. Worse yet are the Witches themselves, who have sent a procession of horrific, deadly monsters on her trail. With some courage and
wisdom, the Toad just might find herself yet-and with that knowledge,
the power to defeat the mighty Witches.
Filled with
forty stunning pencil illustrations from the author, The Witches'
Kitchen is a rich, well-imagined fantasy setting unlike any other.
