The biggest festival in Stratford, North Carolina approaches: a Midwinter celebration of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. In the midst of the excitement, the magical powers around town swell. And Chandra—a transwoman witch in hiding—once again finds it impossible to hide.

"This year will be different," Chandra says to her tabby, a feral cat who one day appeared out of nowhere. Just then, a friendly stranger by the name of Apple appears at Chandra's window, reaches out...and offers the ability to travel to a whole new world. 

What will Chandra choose? 

To pass through the portal, and disappear for good...or might she ever find more to Stratford than meets the eye?
