Summary:
Beldaruit would place the weight of a witch’s hat and an apprentice’s frock on the boy and pray that it grounded him. This was to be the first step. A place to heal. The second - a guiding hand, to keep his feet walking the right path. The third - instructive support, to build a scaffold with enough presence of mind and strength of conviction to choose satisfactory furrows of life. To make his own decisions. For good and ill.
Beldaruit knows Witch society would rather be rid of a helpless unknowing child - instead of dooming him, Beldraruit gives him a home and a name. A behind-the-scenes look at Qifrey’s induction to the secret world of magic.
