The Witch Chronicles: The Reluctant Witch: Book 1

This life was not what she wanted. Freda wanted to be normal but there was nothing normal about her. Danger was everywhere. Nothing was as it seemed.

A war is brewing, and one girl’s strange powers may be the key to victory in Anna B. Wolverton’s intriguing young adult debut, The Witch Chronicles.

After her parents die in a tragic yet suspicious car accident, Freda and her younger brother are sent to live with an uncle whose very existence was unknown to them.

Under his guidance, Freda slowly learns the truth behind her mysterious powers-powers that allow her to communicate with animals and leave her body at will while meditating or sleeping.

But these shocking revelations are abruptly interrupted by the appearance of Henri, a mysterious stranger with secrets of his own. His mission is to protect Freda from the evil Radan but, despite his vigilance, she is soon kidnapped by a pack of Weredogs and taken to Radan’s lair on Ocracoke Island.

In a final fight to the death, Freda will have to find the strength she never knew she had…and powers she never knew existed.
