The dead are seldom silent. All that is required for them to be heard is that someone be willing to listen. I have been listening to the dead all my life.
Lady Lilith Montgomery is the daughter of the sixth Duke of Radnor. She is one of the most beautiful young women in London and engaged to the city s most eligible bachelor. She is also a witch. When her father dies, her hapless brother Freddie takes on his title. But it is Lilith who inherits their father s role as Head Witch of the Lazarus Coven. And it is Lilith who must face the threat of the Sentinels, a powerful group of dark sorcerers . . . Lilith knows the Lazarus creed: secrecy and silence. She has spent her life honouring the code. But then she meets Bram. With him, she must not be secret nor silent. Despite her loyalty to the coven and duty to her family, Lilith cannot keep her life as a witch hidden from the man she loves yet, to tell him will risk everything.A sensitive, beautifully written account ... If the Bronte sisters had penned magical realism,this would have been the result. Guardian, on The Winter Witch A slice of 19th century Wales ... full of atmosphere. SFX, on The Winter Witch 'A riveting tales of sorcery and time travel.'
