The Witches' Kitchen — Allen Williams

Deep in the walls of a witch's cottage lays an ancient magical kitchen. Dangling over that kitchen's cauldron, pinched between the fingers of two witches, is a toad. And Toad has no idea how she got there, and no memory, not even of her real name. All she knows is she doesn't think she was always a toad, or that she's ever been here before. Determined to recover her memories, she sets out on a journey to the kitchen oracle and along the way picks up a ragtag team of friends: an iron-handed imp, a carnivorous fairy, and a few friendly locals.

But the Kitchen won't make it easy. It his pitch-black, infinite, and impossible to navigate, a living maze. Hiding in dark corners are beastly, starving things. Worse vet-are the Witches themselves, who have set a procession of horrific, deadly monsters on Toad's trail.

With some courage and wisdom, Toad just might find herself yet -- and with that knowledge, the power to defeat the mighty Witches.
