'Beautifully written... The Witch of Willow Hall will cast a spell over every reader'
Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me
Years after the Salem witch trials one witch remains. She just doesn't know it... yet.
1821: Growing up, Lydia Montrose knew she was descended from the witches of Salem, but was warned to never tell anyone what she could do, and has now forgotten her legacy. But Willow Hall has awoken something inside her...
Having fled family scandal in Boston, Willow Hall seems an idyllic refuge from the world. But a subtle menace haunts the grounds, with strange voices and ghostly apparitions in the night, which call to Lydia's secret inheritance and threaten to awaken something long buried.
Can Lydia confront her inner witch and harness her powers, or is it too late to save herself and her family from the deadly fate of Willow Hall?
