While strolling through the woods one afternoon, a sorceress called Alyssa encounters a shrub pulsing with an enchanted glow deep beneath the ancient canopy. She finds a newborn who, though not a witch, carries power beyond ordinary mortals in a hidden glade. Consequently, Alyssa resolves to adopt the infant, christening her Viola with gentle care.
Sixteen years later, Viola has matured and now dwarfs her spry mother; her seasoned appearance often fools observers into misjudging their ages while the sun sets. Yet Alyssa cherishes her daughter despite Viola's jealous streak and habit of pushing away anyone she suspects might steal her mother's affection with fierce loyalty. Viola remains uncertain about her origins, yet she possesses everything within Alyssa and the multitude of friends who have gathered to nurture her for the future. Guided by Alyssa, Viola will hone her sorcery and earn the pride of her adoptive mother.
