Magus of Stonewylde
Deep in the green hills of Dorset lies a hidden place of secrets, passion and fatal conflict.
Deep in the green hills of Dorset lies a hidden place of secrets, passion and fatal conflict.
Sylvie hopes the clean air and green lifestyle of Stonewylde may restore her vitality or at least give her some measure of peace before she dies. It's a chance, and when Sylvie and her mother take it, they find themselves in a haven of tranquillity and beauty.
But it's not all idyllic. The Magus sends a moody, secretive Village boy to work in their garden as a punishment. He warns them to stay away from him - he's rebellious and in deep trouble. But Sylvie is curious about Yul, and as their forbidden friendship grows, she sees that all is not quite as it seems at Stonewylde.
Why was she told to keep away from Yul - and why are she and her mother so drawn to the Magus? Is the crone on the hill really a powerful wise-woman, or just a crazed old hag bent on destroying the peace with her wild prophecies? And what exactly is the magical secret at the heart of this seemingly perfect community?
