The Witches

Paperback
(Independently published, Sept. 10, 2017)
There is no rest for the wicked, nor the brave. Hot on the heels of a band of trolls, Rilla finds herself the only hope of a kingdom fractured by fear and ambition. Having previously saved a group of women from the bowels of the Academy, Rilla is shocked to find they’ve been kidnapped by trolls. With a less-than-stellar team beside her, Rilla must pick up the slack and the trail before a terrible fate befalls the women. Over mountains, across forests, and into the depths of the dreaded dragon tunnel, Rilla and her motley crew will face more than just the forces of evil that plague the Kingdoms. Cowardice, disloyalty, and resentment make for powerful enemies, and terrible allies, in a world where anything can happen— and often does. Armed with just her wits, and a powerful yet completely illegal brand of magic, Rilla has little time, and little help, in her quest to save the lives of others. For in the outlands of the United Kingdom of Seven, danger and deceit rule the day. You never know who you will meet— or who you can trust.
