What if one silver key could unlock your power—and your destiny?

What an original and fantastic tale! I loved it! I loved the history of the witch trials as well as the continuing of training new witches in their craft. I loved the interweaving of the lives of the witches that studied at Rookes and that they kept in touch with each other. This book was so much fun to read and I eagerly await whatever Vivian Catfield writes next!

I loved, loved, loved this book.
As a pagan and a witch it was really good, who doesn’t enjoy a story of witchcraft 😊
Would you pick up the silver key and follow the pull?
Definitely left wanting more….
I am really empresses with this author.
