Book description
Where do you go when your heart has been ripped out? For Anna there is
only one answer; into her past, where the truth about her mother, her
power, and her real identity lie hidden. But as Anna delves deeper into
her history, she begins to fear that the truth about what set her mother
running may be darker than she ever suspected. With the witches of the
world on the brink of war, the love of her life, Seth, gone and her
closest friend, Abe, wanting more from her than she can possibly give,
Anna is in crisis. Ultimately she will have to choose between friends,
family and rival tribes of witches and - at the last - between love and
magic. Ruth Warburton grew up on the south coast of England in Lewes;
a small town with a long history. After leaving Lewes she studied
English at the University of Manchester, and there developed a
fascination with Old English and Middle English texts. While researching
A WITCH IN WINTER she found herself returning to them, in particular
BEOWULF and LE MORTE D'ARTHUR, and seeds from these mixed with ancient
Mesopotamian demons, Voodoo spells, Tudor superstitions and 15th century
witch-hunting guides, to create the Winter Trilogy. Ruth is now a
publicist for adult fiction at Random House and lives in North London.
