One peasant. One wizard. One chance to win. Everything to lose. Rose swore of wizards, witches, and magic of any kind after a heavy curse was placed upon her shoulders. Even though she'll never truly escape her poverty without the help of magic, it's better to stay away from dangerous curses or "helpful" spells, whatever the country wants to call them since it isn't at war. She'll claw her way out, one day at a time. But then her poverty forces Rose to find a moving piece of junk people call "Howl's Moving Castle." After all, she doesn't believe any stupid wizard has the guts to eat her heart. She'd like one try so she could smash their stupid face. Then Rose meets Wizard Howl. Gradually, her opinions towards magic change as she realizes the future she's always hoped for may not compare to the possibilities she's never imagined.
