À propos de la deuxième de couverture

1567

Abandoned as a baby among the reeds and rushes, Aphra is raised by outcast witches in the isolated wood. Even as a child, her gifts in the dark craft are clear, and soon even her guardians begin to fear her.

Soon Aphra must fend for herself. Years of begging and stealing make her strong, but bitter, for she is shunned by everyone she meets.

Until she reaches Bryers Guerdon and meets the man they call Long Lankin. Ostracized and tormented, he is the only person willing to help her.

And together, they plot their revenge.

1962

Four years have passed since the death of Ida Guerdon. Cora and Mimi have returned to the manor house left to them in Ida’s will.The winter is deathly cold, and the horrifying events of that sweltering summer in 1958 seem long past.

Then their father arranges for some restoration work to take place at Guerdon Hall, and Cora soon realizes that an age-old presence has been awoken: the spirit of Aphra Rushes, intent on finishing what she began four centuries ago.
