Fourteen-year-old Suli must stop the most powerful witch her country has ever seen.If she fails, her country will starve, her animal friends could die, and wise women's magic will be lost forever.The only healer and wise woman for her village, fourteen-year-old Suli jumps at an invitation from the wild geese to fly with them to the Arctic. During a rest break, she saves a young girl from being beaten, and has to decide what do with her.The leader of the wild geese advises her to go home. A strange illness is spreading among all the animals in the countryside, and only a wise woman will know if the cause is magical. Perhaps it's related to the Prime Minister's campaign of rounding up wise women and imprisoning them, claiming their magic is really witchcraft. Arta, the young girl Suli rescued, insists on going with her, saying she'll be her apprentice, in spite of the danger.As they journey to her village, Suli stumbles across the Prime Minister's plans to take over the country. She suspects he's using powerful magic to control what people believe, and such misuse of magic could unbalance all the magic in the country, or drain it away entirely.Animals are dying. Wise women's magic is disappearing. And Suli's teacher, Tala, has mysteriously disappeared. The animals beg Suli to help them, as wise women always have.But even with the help of her crow teacher, a former witch, and her animal allies, can Suli stop the Prime Minister and restore magic to her land when her own magic is gone?Praise for The Third Kind of Magic, Crow Magic Book One:The two things I dreamed of doing as a child were to fly and to talk to animals.
