Can a person just decide to give up feeling scared? It's 1933, and Dahlia Harrell lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains in a hand-me-down cabin built by her Grandpap's Uncle Zeke. At eight-and-three-quarters, Dahlia knows all about being scared. She's scared of snakes, high-up places, dark nights, and a mean ol' sister named Celia. What she doesn't understand is the new president's nonsense: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Dahlia decides that enough money can buy away any reason she has for feeling afraid, and she sets her hope on the rumor of a treasure buried beneath Zeke's cabin. However, when her family is uprooted to become tenant farmers in a distant community, Dahlia's quest for fearlessness ultimately sets her on a path of recklessness. What she fails to realize is that the secret to living a fearless life has been hers all along. And that treasure? Well, it just might hold the answer after all.

Having escaped her doomed engagement, Dahlia is relishing her new life of freedom as an independent magical toolmaker. One day, she learns that her friend Volf, a knight from the Order of Beast Hunters, is to be sent out to the marshlands on a mission. But there’s a problem—traversing the marshes soon leaves the knights with soggy boots full of sweat and swamp water. Might a surprising pair of socks hold the solution? Dahlia uses know-how from her previous life to create toe socks with a drying enchantment and insoles imbued with air magic. She presents them to Volf, hoping they might help him and his friends, but nothing can prepare her for what a splash these items will make! Of course, there’s more than socks on Dahlia’s mind—she’s got her hands full crafting a man-made magical sword, an upgraded refrigerator, and more! Meanwhile, word of the young craftswoman’s exploits is spreading throughout the capital... Welcome to the second installment of Dahlia’s artisanal adventures!
