Since childhood, Catherine has been left to her own devices. Drinking parents,... bad company, cruelty, and bleak despair — since the age of fourteen, the girl has been mired in this swamp. And everything would have gone smoothly if one day a… witch had not moved in next door. Catherine becomes her apprentice and plunges into a completely different world — magical, alluring, promising the impossible. But every magic has its price, and sometimes it is too high. Betrayal, pursuit, secrets, portals to other worlds, forbidden spells — the young witch will find herself caught up in a dangerous game. And to get out of it alive, Catherine will have to figure out not only whom she can trust but also who she really is. A thrilling fantasy novel that has made it to the longlist of the 'Electronic Letter' award.
