Sisters, Milja and Marpessa long for a little more in life. Wishing for something, anything, to break the monotony of their lives outside the village of Broken Barrow, they soon discover you should always be careful of what you wish for. Particularly a pair of magical sisters who dont yet know that they are magical. When a messenger with an important package for their mother goes missing, the girls are sent out to find him with a stick and a wooden spoon. Defenseless, they face a rampaging dragon and a power hungry warlord. Their one ally? A talking dragonfly. But the greatest peril they face is not to be found in the jaws of the monster, or in the glint of the warlords sword, but in learning to harness their powers and finally trust one another.
