Publisher's Summary

Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. But Xan is in fact a good witch who rescues the children.

Breathtaking!

A beautifully written story with a narration that left me spellbound to the end. Characters were brought to life - Christina Moore’s performance was outstanding. Left me in happy tears at the end. Recommended for anyone who loves a story about witches, magic, and swamp monsters.

A beautiful world

The author has created beautiful worlds within worlds in this book. I will be using this text for my Gifted and Talented students this term. Such wonderful language is rarely seen in children’s books these days.
