“All women who practice Soul magic are able to connect to the spirit of a type of animal. We hadn't known what our animal was until that moment. Until the Spirit magic and Mis's father's blood came together on her skin and Mis lifted up and became a bird. Not just a bird but an enormous and formidable corvid.
When Mis was a corvid, she learned the secrets of Nature that, when she became a woman again, she kept with her, to be passed down to her daughter and her daughter after that. She learned the secrets of plant coaxing. They called her a Siren because even the plants were susceptible to her charms.”
