Product description

Anna Winterson doesn’t know she’s a witch and would probably mock you for believing in magic, but after moving to the small town of Winter with her father, she learns more than she ever wanted to about power. When Anna meets Seth, she is smitten, but when she enchants him to love her, she unwittingly amplifies a deadly conflict between two witch clans and splits her own heart in two. She wants to love Seth, to let him love her – but if it is her magic that’s controlling his passion, then she is as monstrous as the witch clan who are trying to use her amazing powers for their own gain.

When love is tangled up in magic, how can you be sure what’s real?

Ruth Warburton

Ruth Warburton grew up on the south coast of England and went on to study English at the University of Manchester, where she 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 a publicist for adult fiction at Random House and lives in North London.

Witchcraft and romance

It's a very interesting book, but there are times when you can lose track of what's going on. I love the mixture of witchcraft and romance. I liked the whole plot of the story and I like how there were random twists. There are parts where you expect one thing to happen but then it turns out that something completely different happens, it's good because it's not predictable. Overall, I loved A Witch In Winter and thought it was a great book!
