As the lust for blood and retribution rises to fever pitch, will Evey keep true to the bonds of sisterhood and to the magick that is her destiny? Praise for Witch : ''A story that captures sibling rivalry so perfectly and tells its tale so beautifully I didn''t want it to finish'' JASBINDER BILAN ''Raw, mystical and beautifully told. A striking debut'' KIRSTY APPLEBAUM ''An assured debut of sisterhood and fury'' THE BOOKSELLER ''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, though what leaps off the page is the creepy atmosphere and the raw emotion of a grieving, raging girl... Perfect reading for a dark, stormy night'' IRISH TIMES WEEKEND
