A new novel from the universe of Cindy Eller. No previous knowledge is needed. This is a stand alone book. Lil Redding-Hood has always been neat, organized, and a devoted follower of rules. If it hadn’t been for an unlikely passion for turning potions and elixirs into candies, she would have ended up following up in the footsteps of her Green Witch mother. Instead, her love of creating lollipops and an idea for creating her own business brings her to her aunt Cindy’s door. Cindy, as a Magical baker with dozens of bakeries scattered through the worlds, is the perfect mentor for Lil’s new venture. After all, nepotism grows on family trees. It is at Cindy’s bakery that Lil runs into—or is run into by—a giant. Well, Hunter is not really a giant, but a good-natured, friendly man who threatens to sidetrack Lil and exactly the wrong time. And the timing is dreadful. Shifters all over the earth have been succumbing to a terrible Shifter that forces them into the Last Change. The shifters who fall ill shift into their other forms permanently. Hunter’s own twin brother was a victim of the Shifter Sickness. A twin that Hunter and his family never talks about. A twin that Lil has somehow spoken to twice. The threat is far greater than anyone suspects. Magic itself and all those that use it are in very real danger.
