When only two months of life remained for white witch Morwenna, she forced her paralyzed adopted daughter Lyla to stand again through nearly cruel methods. Lyla was filled with misunderstanding and resentment at first, until she uncovered the truth: her foster mother sold ancestral potions recipes, hid her terminal illness, and bore the stigma of being a fire-witch criminal, all solely to help her walk on her own feet. The moment Lyla finally called out the long-overdue "Mother", Morwenna drew her last breath.
