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.
Reviews for Witch: 'A book filled with enchantment, in every sense.
Dark, exciting and pacy, Witch brilliantly balances magic and
realism' Anthony McGowan, author of Carnegie-winning Lark 'There is
real magic here... Perfect reading for a dark, stormy night' Irish
