Disappointed in her rejection by the arcane Society of Seekers, witch's foundling Sally Founder resigns herself to life as the companion of Lady Bellingham. Secretly the Host to the disembodied spirit of Samdriel, she yearns for more. Her wish is unfortunately granted after a chance encounter with evil at a London ball forces Sally and Samdriel upon a path that could lead to the discovery of their mystical bond.
Having to deal with guests at Briarstone Manor suffering from their own tragedies and a scarred young man seeking revenge, the pair have their hands full. While werewolves prowl the estate's borders, the young woman must find a way to protect her secret and her loved ones. As a bloodthirsty enemy looms in the darkness, Sally learns that secrets can be like a cage. The cost of her freedom could lead to the destruction of everything-including her heart.

Person
Alison Williams holds a degree in illustration from Sheridan College and a black belt in Seikido. Working with her brother, A. Jaye, under the banner SillWill Studios, she has illustrated a fantasy novel trilogy, The Sorcerer's Children and the sci-fi adventure graphic novels of The Adventures of Astrodog. Then, she discovered the genre of Gaslamp Fantasy and the world of the Witch's Foundling was born. Exploring the themes of family, love and coming of age in a land with ghosts, witches, werewolves and demons, she created a story that offers an adventurous twist on a gothic tale.In addition to writing and illustration, Alison works as a certified seniors' fitness instructor. This gives her a break from the computer and the inspiration to keep moving, if only to keep ahead of her insane ginger cat named Tars Tarkas. It's a lot harder than it sounds. Though, you never know, maybe he'll make an appearance in a future book. He certainly has the adventurous spirit necessary-well, at least the talent for making trouble.
