Fleeing Briarstone Manor, Sally and her Nephilim spirit, Samdriel, arrive in London on a quest to find the father she never knew. Yet, the young woman becomes frustrated to the point of despair under the coal-blackened skies of the hostile city. Standing on the banks of the River Thames, she is tempted to surrender all hope when help arrives in the form of Adrien Wordsmith and his loyal dog. Together, they save a mysterious woman from the frigid waters of the river and the three find safety and companionship at Adrien's Emporium and home.But their sanctuary soon comes under siege as old enemies, criminal gangs and the mystical Society of Seekers draw them into a growing conflict.

Autorenporträt

Jaye, under the banner of SillWill Studios, she has illustrated the fantasy graphic 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.
