With Ravenskill hosting this year's games, all eyes are on the now-famous Witchling Spares: Seven Salazar, Valley Pepperhorn, and Thorn Laroux. Thorn is ready to compete as a fashion champion - until a forbidden hex is used to turn her teammate to stone.

Can Seven fix her broken magic and find out who's stonifying the champions... before Thorn becomes the next victim?

Te invitamos a viajar por la historia. Recorreremos los hitos e ideas que son su esqueleto, que han ido cambiando y que siguen en constante transformación: hoy con la infancia como sujetos de derecho; la lucha por la inclusión e igualdad de las mujeres y las minorías; también debido al enorme avance en la tecnología y las ciencias; y los desafíos que tenemos por delante y que se aceleran con la globalización. Aprenderás que nada está fijo, aunque lo parezca. Que todos somos los constructores de este relato llamado historia, que tú también la escribes con tu actuar y tus decisiones, al involucrarte en tu presente, cuestionarlo, al ser protagonista de tu vida. Porque todo lo que los seres humanos hacemos es historia, no solo los grandes personajes que deciden en gobierno o guerras. Por eso es que creemos que no hay «una historia», sino muchas «historias», de hombres, mujeres, niños y niñas. ¡Ven a explorarla y a cambiarla!
