Secrets of an Overworld Survivor

Will has spent his whole life in the shadow of his older brother, Seth. Sure, his brother is a master builder who is known throughout the entire Overworld, but Will knows he could make his own mark in Minecraft if anyone would give him the chance to prove himself. So when Will gets the chance to go on his first solo adventure, he jumps at the opportunity. Seth urges Will to stay at home where he'll be safe, or at least take some time to prepare for the journey, but Will knows he has the courage and strength to face whatever strange biomes or hostile mobs the Overworld has in store for him. Will's quest gets off to a great start when he meets Mina, a fellow adventurer, and they decide to look for excitement together. But when the two get separated and night starts to fall, Will realizes he is lost. With spiders and creepers spawning all around him and no shelter in sight, can Will survive the night all on his own?

When lightning hits Little Oak, one of Will and Mina's villager friends gets struck-and turned into a witch! Mina and Will sprint straight to the witch huts in the swamp, trying to save their friend. But instead of help, they find grave danger: witches with potions so powerful, Mina's own potions seem weak and useless. When Mina falls victim to a witch's potion, it's Will who has to perfect his potion-making skills. Can he remember what Mina taught him in time to save her from the deadly secrets swirling deep within the swamp?
