  This book is aimed at YA but it is readable at any age. I have passed on this give-away I won to my teenage daughter to read. A nice story about twins who live with their father, a parson in the village of Swampsea. They were brought up by their stepmother who was not all she seemed. The story follows Briony and her connection with the 'Old Ones' and her developing feelings for Eldric, which she cannot justify when she is clearly a 'witch'. Well written, with a gentle storyline which carries you along. I look forward to reading my other win The Folk Keeper by this author.
