About this series
Fourteen-year-old Suli must stop the most powerful witch her country has ever seen.
If she fails, her country will starve, her animal friends could die, and wise women's magic will be lost forever.
Invited to fly to the Arctic with the wild geese, Suli jumps at the chance. But when she interrupts her journey to save a girl
from being beaten, the leader of the wild geese advises her to return home to find the cause of a strange illness spreading among animals.
If the cause is magical, only the wise women can stop it.
Arta, the girl Suli rescued, insists on becoming Suli's apprentice, even though the Prime Minister is rounding up wise women and putting them in camps. Reluctantly, Suli takes Arta with her. On the journey home, they stumble across the Prime Minister's plans to take over the country. His use of witchcraft is draining all the magic from the land.
Animals are dying. Wise women's magic is being stolen, and Suli's teacher, Tala has mysteriously disappeared. It's up to Suli to decide what to do.
Even with the help of her crow teacher and her animal allies, can Suli stop the Prime Minister and restore the magic to her land when her own magic has been stolen?
The Cursed Amulet continues two years after the events in The Third Kind of Magic with Suli as the wise woman of Weatherstone.
Praise for The Third Kind of Magic, Crow Magic Book One:
The two things I dreamed of doing as a child were to fly and to talk to animals. This marvelous children's book brought this reader back to that happiest of times when everything was possible and wishes could come true.

Can one twelve-year-old girl fight a witch? After accidentally using advanced magic, Suli must leave her village to become a wise woman or be shunned as a witch. Suli's magical education with the wise woman, Tala, is cut short when a witch kidnaps Tala to learn the secret of shape-shifting. Believing Suli will be easier prey, the witch tries to kidnap her too. But Suli has talents the witch doesn't suspect. She, too, has inherited the ability to change shape. With the help of a crow teacher, she learns to fly and to talk with animals. Then the witch asks Suli to make a terrible choice: either live with the witch as her apprentice, or Tala will never be seen again. If Suli agrees, she'll be shunned as a witch for the rest of her life. "The two things I dreamed of doing as a child were to fly and to talk to animals. This marvelous children's book brought this reader back to that happiest of times when everything was possible and wishes could come true."
