On a dark and dismal morning, Green Eyes awakens to find herself scratching at her mother's door. She's had the dream again - the one in which she's a cat trying to climb a mountain to save a girl in distress. The confusing dream haunts her as she treks to the nearby village to sell the mysterious wooden figurines her mother carves. Will today be the day she earns enough money to please her? Or will she return home to face yet another beating? Until the moment she steps through the cottage door, she never knows what to expect. Her only hope is that her mother won't damage the wooden prosthetic she wears after losing her hand as a baby.As she's making her way home, she meets Arduon and Paduon, a pair of wise-cracking crows who tell her she's not who she thinks she is. They urge her to go in search of her true self, but Green Eyes resists, afraid of her mother's rage and of the dangers awaiting her out in the world. It's only when she learns that her mother is in fact a witch who put a spell on her that Green Eyes finds the courage to escape. Armed with the crow's wisdom - and a magical sword gifted to her by her friends in the village - she sets off on a journey to discover her true identity.
