Book two in the much-loved Witches of Woodville trilogy and a coming-of-age novel like no other - full of life, love, war and magic, this is Maisie Dobbs meets The Magicians (with a helping of Terry Pratchett!).
'A young witch to rival Tiffany Aching. Magic!' FMA Dixon
'ACE. Smart and funny and written so warmly. It's an absolutely smashing read' Pernille Hughes, author of Probably the Best Kiss in the World
July, 1940. In a quiet village in rural Kent, a magical mystery leads to murder . . .
Woodville has returned to 'normal' after the departure of the Crow Folk. The villagers put out fires from aircraft shot down in the Battle of Britain, and Faye Bright discovers that magic can be just as dangerous as any weapon.
The arrival of a trio of Jewish children fleeing the Nazis brings the fight for Europe to the village. When their guardian is found dead, Faye must play nanny to the terrified children while gathering clues to uncover a dark magic that threatens to change the course of the war. And she must do it quickly – the children have seen too much and someone wants them silenced for good.
For fans of Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett comes the second novel in this delightful series of war, mystery and a little bit of magic . . .

A story that is full of magic and delight that will thrill readers of any age' Rowan Coleman, author of The Girl at the Window
'Extremely funny, full of imagination, verve and typical English "home counties" wit' Irish Independent
‘A rural Ben Aaronovitch!’ C. K. McDonnell, author of The Stranger Times

‘Mark Stay’s brilliantly written Witches of Woodville books are somehow funny, cosy, clever and disturbingly dark all at the same time. Terry Pratchett fans will LOVE em’ Lucy Strange
