Every four years, the Twelve Towns gather for a legendary magical tournament—the Golden Frog Games. With Ravenskill hosting this year’s games, all eyes are on Seven Salazar, Valley Pepperhorn, and Thorn Laroux: the most famous Spares in the Twelve Towns. Thorn is ready to compete as a fashion champion, but when a forbidden hex is used to turn her fellow champions to stone, suspicion lands on the Witchlings.
As they attempt to unravel the mystery of the stonifications, Seven is harboring a dangerous secret: while she’s supposed to be able to communicate with animals, the voices she hears most clearly belong to monsters, and one spine-chilling voice is the loudest of all. Can Seven fix her broken magic and find out who is stonifying the champions…before Thorn becomes the next victim?
