title: The Winter Witch: A Novel
author:  Paula Brackston 
description: Brackston, author of The Witchs Daughter (2011),provides another paranormal historical. This time around she forgoes the time travel, grounding her story firmly in the darkly superstitious Welsh countryside. Never speaking a word and frightened by strange powers she does not fully understand or know how to control, Morgana Pritchard is beginning to arouse suspicions in her neighborhood. It is only after her fearful mother marries her off to a widower from the far hills to protect her that Morgana begins to realize the extent and the purpose of her gift. As Cai and Morganas love story unfolds and accusations of witchery begin to swirl about, Morgana learns to both harness and respect her magic blood in order to protect both herself and her beloved husband from an insidious enemy. --Margaret Flanagan
