Description

Sea Change, part two of &quotThe Freyan Trilogy continues the adventures of Kerstin Speller, the 16 year old apprentice wizard who has a precocious gift for spellcraft. In Sea Change, Kerstin travels with her wizard father to the Misty Isles where, shrouded by fog and magical boundaries, a circle of women practise the highest arts of growth and healing. But something is badly amiss in this enchanted world and it takes Kerstin, the shy but fearless outsider, to do the unthinkable – to bring a young boy into the magic circle and change the nature of their spells forever.
