Bookroo's summary

Arriman the Awful seeks a powerful witch to be his bride, sparking a fierce contest. Little Belladonna, with her gentle spells of flowers and birds, faces a daunting challenge. Can she summon the darkness needed to win, or will her kind nature betray her? As the contest looms, Belladonna must discover if she can conjure something truly sinister in time. The stakes are high, and the competition fierce, but Belladonna's heart may hold the key to unexpected magic. Will she transform her fate, or will her dreams wither like her harmless spells?

She just has to do something seriously sinister in time for the contest….
