Product Description

Book Description

Sam has been missing for 2 years. Her best friend, Kate, has custody of Sam's 2 young children. Kate's husband, Jack, left her and she struggles alone with her own children and Sam's.

Hallowe'en, Samhain, a dark moon and abruptly, in a flurry of mystery and magic, Sam is back. Suddenly, Kate's already insecure world is torn asunder as Sam is seriously hurt and forces completely beyond her comprehension and experience flood into her life.

Lily, Kate and Sam's friend from before Sam vanished, shows more and more signs of being so much more than she first appears.

Lily guides Kate as they seek out Sam's tormentor and kidnapper (Ametsam), who has taken Kate's daughter Hayley from her home into his own world. They journey into his realm, a magical world found only by the opening of magical Portals. Retrieving Hayley they only just make it back safely.

Lily is revealed as the dreaded "Mistress" that Sam was taught to fear while she was held there - but she's not as scary as Sam was lead to believe. Someone has been telling lies.

Lily guides Sam on a journey of self discovery as Sam learns more about her own magical abilities and eventually they are ready to face Ametsam on his own territory. Lily and Sam finally confront Ametsam. Sam, realising her full magical potential, defeats him in a magical duel that tears his fortress apart.

But the personal damage is done, Sam no longer belongs in Kate's world and she remains behind. Kate is left alone once more.

The first night I had this book I had to make myself put it down, at one in the morning. I wanted to know what happened. Looking forward to the next one eagerly. Well done for a first book Audrey Heaton

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut fantasy novel, 23 April 2008
By Ms. Antonia M. Chitty "antonianell" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're looking for a story that switches between this world and another, with strong female characters, you'll enjoy Sarah Barnards new book. An alternative take on a story of growing friendships, this is a good read.

Sarah's book moves from the cosiness of day to day life into the realms of magic and back again with characters so well brought to life that you can see them (well I can !!). I am very much looking forward to the next book Fiona xxx
