Willow Moss is back! But her magic is playing up and she can't seem to figure out why. Her family don't believe her stories about the lost day - since she found it and they have no recollection of the time when it was lost - and one of her dear friends, Nolin Sometimes, has sent a message that he is about to be kidnapped (he can see 10 minutes into the future!). She should be able to use her powers to find him but with her magic out of her control, she is ready to start a new adventure, find new friends and rescue old ones. Will she succeed in this new quest?

Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, has a magical ability for finding lost things - like keys, or socks, or wooden teeth. Useful, but not exactly exciting...Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow's door and asks for her help. A whole day - last Tuesday to be precise - has gone missing. Completely. And, without it, the whole universe could unravel. Now Willow holds the fate of Starfell in her rather unremarkable hands... Can she save the day - by finding the lost one?

Starfell is on the edge of disaster. The fight against Silas, the wizard determined to steal all magic for himself, is far from over - but how can Willow make a difference when her powers have been taken? With the help of her friends, the young witch sets off to the treacherous Mountains of Nach. There, she hopes to find the Craegun, a powerful beast believed to restore anything that has been lost - for a heavy price. The mission is fraught with danger, but there's no turning back . . . or the magic of Willow's world will be lost forever.

When the rules change and magical children are allowed to attend normal school, Willow Moss is convinced that Silas and the Brothers have an ulterior motive. As clues start to point to that truth, Willow and her unlikely band of friends must prevent the magic from falling into the wrong hands.
