In Whetherwhy, everyone has magic inside them – grown from the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. But a rare few are Enchanters: people born with magic in their bones, who can wield all four seasons of magic.
When Juniper discovers she is an Enchanter, she must leave behind everything she knows to begin studying at the Thistledown Academy of Enchantment. And when her twin brother, Rafferty, begins an apprenticeship at a nearby bookbinder to be close to her, he too has adventures of his own.
As Juniper learns how to wield enchantment and hone her magic, Rafferty becomes involved with a mysterious secret society that meets after dark. When Thistledown Academy is attacked by dangerous monsters and the magic of Whetherwhy starts to lose balance, the twins must work together to save all of Whetherwhy from those who wish to steal enchantment for themselves.
