Produktbeschreibung
While hedge-witch Mama Grace tends to the needs of the poorer denizens of Bellamdale, respect for her power does not extend to her foster daughter, Sally Founder. Trying to save a cat from local bullies, Sally finds herself in dire straits, until rescued by the Nephilim Samdriel. In exchange, the young girl becomes the host for his disembodied spirit. Their merging grants Sally some of Samdriel's power, as long as their relationship remains secret-even as other spirits grow restless and call for blood. When evil omens spur new violence, Sally is granted sanctuary by Lady Bellingham of Briarstone Manor with promises of protection and an education. Yet, the young girl's new home holds secrets of its own, and pretty gowns and fancy balls cannot keep the growing darkness at bay. Sally unwittingly becomes part of a broader game that has been played for untold centuries. Could even Samdriel's power be enough to save the witch's foundling and those she loves as an ancient evil comes searching for a prize that threatens the world?

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.
