Veil of the Otherworld - The Witches of Elder Wood, #1

Full of attitude and with a wicked wit to match, Marcisse is hardly what you'd call ordinary. Raised by her loving grandfather after the death of her parents, she's primed for the humdrum of village life. There's only one problem; Marcisse longs to break free to find an adventure. When the priesthood starts killing witches in her sleepy village of Dunklebry, she and best friend Fiora scope out an abandoned house in the wood.
What happens next will change her life forever. The house once belonged to the persecuted witches, so Marcisse is well aware of the consequences. Desperate to find any excuse to leave the village, she gets more than she bargains for when their exploration sets off a chain of events that cannot be stopped. With secrets unravelling, Marcisse must answer the call of an anonymous mysterious writer. How do they know her? Will they reveal more about the disease that plagues her realm? And most importantly, do they hold the key to help the witches' plight?
