Goodreads Synopsis:

THE CURSE

Chise may have stopped the dragon’s rampage, but at a great cost: she has been cursed, and a dragon’s curse is unbreakable! Chise and Elias are visited by Marielle the witch, whose fellow witches claim to know the secret to helping Chise. There’s one catch-–in exchange for their aid, Chise must join the witches’ coven.

Review:

Chise is dealing with the repercussions of her drastic actions. She wants to save everyone, but doesn't take into account her own mortality, and now she has a cursed hand.
She gets invited to a witch's meeting, which has some pros and cons they debate on before deciding to go. There's the possibility that they'll know how to cure her, but this doesn't quite turn out how they would hope.
In the background, Josef has been roiling up some mischief. And when Elias does something drastic to try and save Chise, possibly not realizing how upset it will make her, it only turns out worse for both of them. The cliffhanger is surely not going to lead to anything good.
This is the first real fight Elias and Chise have had, I think. It's rather sad, really.
