(Book Two) Tegwen Gittins has dodged Death on more occasions that she can count on both hands. Her time in New York City only added to the count but it allowed the woman to heal as she came face to face with an old classmate, Newt Scamander. Old wounds were reopened but were able to begin healing properly as she was able to confront a large part of her past. Returning home, Tegwen is trying to get her life back in order. Living with her fathers until she is ready to get back to work, Tegwen is enjoying the quiet life, allowing Freudrick the Hungry Plant to settle in the gardens, when a familiar face shows up one afternoon. Newt Scamander is back after finishing up his manuscript and he comes with a request. A request for Tegwen to join him on another adventure with an offer she can't refuse.
