In a quiet corner of Hallow, far from cities and towns, roads and railways, walls and witches, there lived a family of Spellhounds.

Of course you have never heard of Spellhounds. They are one of the Three Great Secrets of Hallow, a country that loves secrets almost as much as it loves green jellybabies.

The First Great Secret is that Queen Felicia, beloved ruler of Hallow, is a dragon.

The Second Great Secret is that the Floating Forest is the very heart of Hallow.

The Third Great Secret is the Spellhounds.

What? No, I’m not going to tell you anything more about them. I am a loyal citizen of Hallow, and would never betray—

Oh, you have jellybabies?

Green ones?

Well, I suppose I could tell you a little more.

But first you must promise not to whisper it to anyone else. Not even your best friend. Not even your dog.

Especially not your dog.

Do you promise?

All right then. Come closer. Open your ears and your heart, and pass the green jellybabies.

I will tell you a story about the Spellhounds.
