Changes

Within a remote mountain pass, far away from the world, lies Silverton; a town under the protection of the Briar's, a family of witches who protect the town and the wider world from the Darklands. Though she has always wished for magic, Ellie Briar is the first non-witch to be born into her family for generations and as such since she was young, her training as a steward revolved around letters and administration rather than spells and potions. When her grandmother suddenly dies, Ellie's cousin Audra becomes the Briar Witch, the town's leader, and Ellie takes her place beside her. As challenges come her way left, right and centre, Ellie uncovers the rare ability to communicate with the dead, putting her at the heart of a maelstrom of chaos. Reeling from one family secret to another, Ellie must decide who to trust and determine what to do as the Briar witches' legacy, everything they have sacrificed to survive, is under threat.|isbn=1803364548}}{{Frontpage|class-"wikitable" cellpaddingauthor="15" <!-- INSERT NEW REVIEWS BELOW HERE-->Rachel Greenlaw<!-- Mayfield -->|title=Compass and Blade|-rating=3.5| stylegenre=''width: 10%; vertical-align: top; text-align: center;''|Teens[[image:1786072424.jpg|linksummary=http://www''I can hear the song of the sea.amazonThe call of the deep, the answering beat in my heart.co.uk/dp/1786072424/ref=nosim?tag=thebookbag-21]]''
