Thoroughly convinced of Anders' proclivity to kill the plants he purchases, Sil discovers the wizard's expansive, magical garden and slowly learns that the man just wants to be friends. At least at first.Sil and Anders return from the beloved short story, The Wizard's Garden, to grow together in friendship, companionship and perhaps even more. They encounter a variety of local magical creatures, spells, and obstacles as Sil resists the idea that he might actually have a talent for magic.
