The Rise Of The Morpeths: Susan Stanton

Hands in the circle, pentagrams, talismans, chalk on the palms of her hands...Marit, the witch child, worked hard at her magic. It was exhausting - but the thousandth year was upon them and if the Morpeths were to rise and reinstate the Queen to her rightful throne, then Marit must search with her magic. Through life and into death and beyond, Marit searched to find the gold of the ancient Queens and the stone that showed both past and future. But there were many who searched for the gold and the stone, those who wanted the power both would bring to advance their cause, and they would stop at nothing. So when Alys, who is Truth, finally faces Hieronymus Elphin, who is Dark, the confrontation is cataclysmic. Cover art by Ursula M. Savill. Susan Stanton was the wife of author Ivan Southall.
