Plain Kate lives in a world of superstitions and curses, where a song can heal a wound and a shadow can work deep magic. As the wood-carver's daughter, Kate held a carving knife before a spoon, and her wooden charms are so fine that some even call her "witch-blade" -- a dangerous nickname in a town where witches are hunted and burned in the square. When Plain Kate, an orphaned woodcarver, trades her shadow to Linay, a wandering stranger, for her heart’s desire, she gets more than expected: The deal draws her (and her now-talking cat) into Linay’s scheme to destroy those who burned his sister as a witch and throws her in with the Roamers (gypsies), who are more tied to Linay than Plain Kate could have guessed.
