A coven of witches plots to overthrow a kingdom. One brave woman stands in their way.

At her mother’s death-bed, Elisabeth learns her mother’s illness is no accident and that her own life is in danger. Evil witches are plotting to take over the kingdom of Vendale. All alone, naive, and untrained, Elisabeth’s determination is all she has to confront her mother’s murderers as she discovers love at the same time. While Richard’s behaviour sends distracting mixed messages, Elisabeth finds herself stuck in limbo: she is treated like a child but is forced to make adult decisions. Meanwhile, the witches’ plot spins a fateful web around her. Can Elisabeth succeed in the face of insurmountable odds?

This is a fairy tale fantasy following Elisabeth’s journey of becoming as she fights witches and falls in love. This unorthodox, self-trained magic user has only her determination when she faces off a coven of witches planning to take over the kingdom of Vendale. Enter the mind of an anxious fourteen-year-old as she finds her place in an unforgiving society.
