The Charms of Freedom

'Enchanting Visions'

Windmills, community spirit, rooftop gardens - that is what young magician Enim knows. But when he travels out to the mountains, misery hits him in the face. Before he knows it, Enim gets adopted into a found family that is determined to take on the powerful owners, free the miners, and bring on a good life for all. The exact steps to saving the world are still a little unclear. But that won't stop anyone from rushing ahead!
Between the politics of the capital and the instruments of magic, a tangled love-tie and a popular uprising, their snug group of orphan kids and the inner strength to ban a demon - will they finally make it happen?

'An inspiring tale full of gentle humor, vibrant zeal and ludicrous optimism.'
'Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Ursula K. LeGuin and Studio Ghibli.'
