Zwischen all den weißen Schwänen tauchte auf einmal ein schwarzer auf. Sein Gefieder schimmerte beinahe bläulich im silbrigen Mondlicht. Er hatte einen roten Schnabel und ebenso rot glühende Augen, die er nun auf mich richtete, als würde er mich kennen. Sein Anblick verursachte mir eine Gänsehaut. "Warum ist dieser Schwan schwarz?", wandte ich mich an Baba Zima. "Er symbolisiert das Böse, welches du in dir trägst", antwortete sie mir mit rauer Stimme.

As the only hedgewitch in Blackthorn, Massachusetts―an uncommonly magical place―Aziza El-Amin has bargained with wood nymphs, rescued palm-sized fairies from house cats, banished flesh-eating shadows from the local park.
