Arianwyn fluffs her witch’s assessment. Awarded the dull
bronze disc of an apprentice – to the glee of her arch-rival,
Gimma – she’s sent to protect the remote, dreary
town of Lull.
But her new life is far from boring. Turns out Gimma is the pompous
mayor’s favourite niece – and worse, she opens
a magical rift in the nearby forest.
As Arianwyn struggles with her spells, it’s soon clear there’s
much more than her pride at stake …
A bewitching debut set in a world of domestic magic –
a refreshingly small-world fantasy perfect for readers aged
9 and up.
A spellbinding read, tapping into important themes of
overcoming failure and building self-esteem.
Filled with thrills, pesky magical conundrums, outlandish
creatures and an enchanted forest, yet retains its warm soul
and earthy charm!
This is Book 1 in the The Apprentice Witch Series. See all The Apprentice Witch books here.
