Noona never smiles or laughs. Neither do any of the people in the village of Shazpara. If they do, they are turned into stone statues by the Wizard Karaz. That's what happened to Noona's mother. Everyone in the village is afraid of the wizard and won't tell her anything, but she is determined to find out. When Noona learns that a charm from the faraway city of Ameera may restore her mother and free her village, she sets off alone on a journey across the desert and over the mountains to Ameera. On her quest, she employs the wisdom of the women of her family to overcome difficult challenges and to discover her own magic. Will she solve the raven's riddle? Will she bring her mother back to life? Will the people in the village of Shazpara ever laugh again?
