Until, one winter morning, Marigold Nightfield knocks on her door. Marigold is a scientist, but she knows plenty about magic. There are strange things happening in her house, and her future discoveries require careful negotiation with monsters.
Laurel can't walk away from a mystery and she can't walk away from Marigold either. But what lies ahead could reveal all of her shortcomings to the woman she's trying to impress or uncover the true nature of her power.
This second edition also includes the bonus short story, First-years and Familiars.
