Skye McKenna grew up in a mining town in the Australian outback. Surrounded by the red dust of the Pilbara, she developed a healthy respect for wild things and wild places at a young age. Longing for adventures of her own, she travelled to the UK and fell in love with the British countryside.

Skye now lives in Scotland where she enjoys exploring the woods, hills and castles of her new home.

Skye's first book, Hedgewitch, was nominated for the YOTO Carnegie Medal for Writing and was a CBCA Notable.

Klappentext

Step into the magical world of Hedgewitch, where the land of Faerie lies just beyond our own . . . The fourth book in the enchanting Hedgewitch series, perfect for children age 9+ and readers of Nevermoor and Michelle Harrison.

To complete the next step in her witch's training, Cassie Morgan must invent a brand-new spell. However, she is struggling for inspiration - so she jumps at the chance to attend the Covenmoot.

Every five years, covens from all over Britain and Ireland meet to take part in a series of challenging games in the hopes of winning the Covenmoot Cup. Cassie and her friends travel to Glen Carlin, a remote valley in the Scottish Highlands, to take part. But menacing forces haunt the moors and rumours of the ancient Stonewitch swirl through the camp.

Cassie and her coven must work together to prove themselves in the Covenmoot, while long-hidden secrets come to light and the wicked Erl King's power grows.

Witches aren't born, they're made ...
