The Silver Witch: A Novel
Description
From The New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston (The Witch’s
Daughter) comes an enchanting tale of love and magic that weaves a modern day
heroine together with the ancient Celtic past A year after her husband’s
sudden death, ceramic artist Tilda Fordwells finally moves into the secluded
Welsh cottage that was to be their new home. She hopes that the tranquil
surroundings will help ease her grief, and lessen her disturbing visions of
Mat’s death. Instead, the lake in the valley below her cottage seems to spark
something dormant in her – a sensitivity, and a power of some sort. Animals
are drawn to her, electricity shorts out when she’s near, and strangest of
all, she sees a new vision; a boatful of ancient people approaching her across
the water. On this same lake in Celtic times lived Seren, a witch and shaman.
She was respected but feared, kept separate from the community for her strange
looks. When a vision came to her of the Prince amid a nest of vipers she
warned of betrayal from one of his own. Prince Brynach both loved and revered
her, but could not believe someone close to him wished him harm, even as the
danger grew. In her own time, Tilda’s grief begins to fade beside her newfound
powers and a fresh love. When she explores the lake’s ancient magic and her
own she discovers Seren, the woman in her vision of the boat. Their two lives
strangely mirror each other’s, suggesting a strong connection between the
women. As Tilda comes under threat from a dark power, one reminiscent of
Seren’s prophecy, she must rely on Seren and ancient magic if death and
disaster are not to shatter her life once more. Paula Brackston does it once
again with The Silver Witch, crafting an enchanting tale as timeless as it is
engrossing. Read more
