Description

Preorder the second book in the Tangleroot Valley series!

A flock of enchanted snow fairy birds is wreaking havoc in Tangleroot Valley – and witch Aloysia Papplewick is the reason they’re there.

So with her cat dragon familiar, Littlewick, by her side, Aloysia does the only sensible thing: she volunteers to return the birds to their homeland on the far side of the world.

But the Land of the First Well is nothing like she imagined. It teems with ancient magic, legendary creatures and closely guarded secrets. And deep inside a fabled tree, something powerful has been waiting centuries for exactly the wrong person to unleash it…

With her loyal friends along for the ride, a mysterious tea witch offering cryptic guidance and Hollis Longcaster being distractingly, impossibly himself, Aloysia must solve the mystery they’ve been plunged into – before it destroys everything she loves.

About the Author

So far I’m the author of one book. This one The High-Street Bride’s Guide. I’ve written about dresses, bridesmaids and cake toppers for Brides and You & Your Wedding, and regularly contribute to the likes of GLAMOUR and Love Baking – often while eating cake in my pyjamas. I live with my husband in a chaotically untidy flat in Letchworth, which I pretend is an artfully unkempt writer’s loft in St. Albans.
