A second novel from the bestselling author of Branford
Boase-shortlisted and Carnegie-nominated Witch. An engrossing story
of fathers and sons, death and grief, and unexpected bonds, new and
old, forged by dark and benign magic. When Sam, grieving the death
of his father, finds a silver-flecked stone, ice-cold to the touch,
strange and eerie things begin to happen. Myth, legend, magic and
witchcraft mingle on the ancient hillside where the chalk white
horse has galloped for centuries. Ravens wheel. Wolves prowl. As
Halloween draws close, witches dance. Odin gathers brave, fallen
warriors to his side. Only the mysterious new girl, Oona, can heal
Sam's heart, revealing tarot secrets with her bewitching ways.

realism' Anthony McGowan, author of Carnegie-winning Lark 'There is
real magic here... Perfect reading for a dark, stormy night' Irish

Wanneer die Ridderbus deur die donker bars en skreeuend voor hom tot
stilstand kom, is dit vir Harry Potter die begin van nog ’n ongewone
jaar op Hogwarts. Sirius Black, ’n berugte moordenaar en volgeling van
Heer Voldemort, het uit Azkaban ontsnap – en hulle sê hy is op Harry se

van alles die Dementors wat die skoolgronde patrolleer . . .
