What trials have you to overcome? What mysteries shall you unravel? Inside Crones' Circle, a painted wooden box decorated with Celtic knotwork holds the private test each student must undertake before initiation.
Of her circle, Kate has always struggled the most in learning the ways of the Craft. As her Wiccan initiation approaches, a final challenge threatens to overcome her at last. Drawing a slip that commands her to answer the question that has no answer, she fears that second-guessing herself will leave her behind while Annie and Cooper move forward. Stranded in Beecher Falls with a ruined science grade and an overdue talk with her parish priest, she must decide what she truly believes before the year and a day run out.
