She has the worst wizard’s apprenticeship ever. And that was before the android showed up.

On a moon in the middle of nowhere, in a damp and crumbling tower, with a befuddled Master Wizard who forgets she exists, there’s no way that Ninienne Lightcaster’s year could get any worse.

But when an android arrives to take her place, Ninienne’s plans for the future are shattered. If she can’t be a magical creature healer, then who is she?

Not to mention the other mysteries hiding in the shadows. What happened to the previous apprentice? Does the delivery boy have a crush on her? What did her familiar eat this time?

And what’s that lurking in the woods?

Hilarious and heartfelt, this genre-bending debut novel will delight and surprise you with its imaginative world and memorable characters.
