Sorceress

Sorceress is the much-anticipated sequel to 'Witch Child,' continuing the captivating story of Mary Newbury, a young English woman accused of witchcraft in the 17th century. The narrative cleverly weaves between the past and present, as modern-day Alison Ellman and her descendant Agnes Herne use their unique spiritual gifts to uncover Mary's life after her escape from the Puritan settlement. Mary's journey takes her across the challenging landscapes of the New World, where she embraces independence, finds love, and forms deep loyalties within an Indigenous community. This book explores profound themes of identity, belonging, resilience, and cultural understanding, making it suitable for readers aged 9-14 who are ready for a longer, immersive historical fantasy with strong female characters and a touch of mystery.

As Witch Child ends so Sorceress begins. Alison Ellman is still searching for information about Mary Newbury; she has a diary and some scattered information about other people in Mary's life, but Mary has disappeared into the forests and Alison has no way of following her. But when she meets Agnes Herne, Alison encounters the person who is going to tell her all about Mary's life after she leaves Beulah. Agnes is a descendant of Mary's and has a special skill which allows her to be in touch with Mary in the spirit world. And Mary has a story to tell. A story of love and friendship, sadness and loss. A story that takes her across the New World in an epic search for a home. We fell under the spell of Mary in Witch Child and now at last we find out what happened to her after her ill-fated time in Beulah.
