It's time to check on the Witches. Something Xandra would rather not do, but she has an obligation to make sure they are safe. She is their princess, after all. Even if they would prefer she wasn't. Her grandfather has shaken things up a bit since the last time she saw him. There are several new faces among his top advisers, but are they just as bad as the old ones? Xandra has the feeling that things aren't exactly as they seem and she doesn't know who to trust.
