The Cursed Amulet

Fourteen-year-old Suli must stop the most powerful witch her country has ever seen. If she doesn't, her country will starve, her animal friends will die, and she will lose her magic forever. Needing a break from being Weatherstone’s wise women, Suli jumps at the chance to fly with the wild geese, but must cut her journey short to save a young girl from being beaten. The leader of the wild geese advises her to return home; a strange illness is spreading among animals, hitting the winged folk first. If the cause is magical, only the wise women can stop it. Arta, the girl Suli saved, knows about the danger threatening all wise women. The Prime Minister is imprisoning wise women in camps so that no one can oppose his taking control of the country by witchcraft. His misuse of magic threatens to destroy the entire country. Animals are dying and the wise women’s magic is disappearing. Arta’s strange powers, like nothing Suli has ever seen, hint to Suli that Arta may have one answer. Even with the help of a former witch, her animal allies, and her crow teacher, how can Suli restore magic to her land when she her own magic is gone?
