Witherstone is the story of a girl fighting to save her family.
“Witherstone is a really outstanding read – good old-fashioned storytelling, in the very best sense; engaging and gripping as only the most skilfull writing can be.” Gordon Askew.
In the first book of the Witherstone trilogy, Hephzibah Creswell – known as Eppie to her family and friends – discovers that she and her family have a mysterious and deadly enemy.
When the Plague sweeps through her village, Eppie tries to save her sister’s life, but her actions unleash devastating consequences for her whole family.
A sinister and gripping tale of mysterious enemies with murderous intentions, Witherstone is set in the years following the English Civil Wars in a society riddled with social inequality, religious turmoil and fears of witchcraft. And where a girl is fighting to save her family.
“One of the most exciting books – ever! I really loved it and can’t wait for the next one to come out.” Hattie, 14, Lancashire.
“A gripping read … I couldn’t put it down.” Chris, 47, Lancashire.
“loved this … It’s an enormously tense story … knowing there are more I’m gagging to see what happens next!” Sian, Manchester.
“It’s genuinely ‘unputdownable’, and was still circling through my mind long after I’d finished.” Scraggle Hag, online reviewer.
“The plot is gripping and the narrative carries the story with pace, creating a feeling of deep unease as Eppie uncovers the truth…..I can’t wait for the next instalment.” Chris Caretaker, online reviewer.
‘the first book in the trilogy and it grips you from the start. Witchcraft and mystery are at the heart of this tale – its characters are well defined and the storyline well thought out. Such a cliff hanger ending!!’ Waterstones, Preston
Witherstone is crossover fiction, enthralling adult readers and young adults alike.
