Veena Vale was determined to do her own little bit of magic. She wanted to make a witch appear. Sitting on the very edge of the pointy end of Sleeford Island, listening to the roar of the weir, Veena cowered into her waterproof coat and thought she might long to magic the rain away. But she had far more important things to wish for. And it was easier to ignore the rain, even though it was running down her nose, than to ignore the feeling that everything here was different and wrong.
