Description
On a grey coastal holiday with her family, twenty-year-old Melissa Thames doesn’t expect much excitement - that is, before she goes into a dusty bookshop and buys a blank diary that turns out to be the most powerful book of black magic in existence. Her life turns upside down and inside out… She’s kidnapped by a battle witch and her bodyguard, who claim she needs protection. To prove their point, a power-hungry warlock makes a devastating attempt on her life. Melissa is left with no choice but to run. Her guardians stand between her and certain death... Thrown into a world of witchcraft, pursued by sorcerers, and with the threat of a necromancer to boot, Melissa has to figure out: “Why me?” "Breathlessly exciting, this rollercoaster of a story charts Melissa’s coming of age as the most powerful witch of her generation. A five star read!" Robin Chambers (author of the acclaimed "Myrddin's Heir" series)
