15-year-old Callie Hall has just found out she''s a witch, and things keep going wrong. Sometimes her mind seems to make things happen, things she can''t control. She can set fire to things without a match, and when she''s angry people can get hurt.
Her friend Josh understands she''s a bit weird, but it''s only on a dark and dangerous visit to the tunnels under the ruins of St Andrews'' Castle that he realises just how strange she really is. Something comes back with Callie -- in Callie -- something she can''t escape.
Can Callie control her power long enough to send back the darkness, before it takes over her life? And will Josh ever understand her secret?
A brilliant, engrossing teen fantasy from the author of Winterbringers and The Keeper''s Daughter.
