Welcome to Litsy!

This was an absorbing and atmospheric read - steeped in Welsh mythology and Arthurian legend, the story of a lost and lonely girl who wants answers to her past and is finally close to those answers, although they are not at all what she was expecting. If this was a duology, I‘d say this was a perfect opener but it appears to be a stand-alone and as such, has too many loose ends to be a truely satisfying read.

A fun read, giving a bit of twist on the tale of Merlin and Avalon. A young woman called Ivy is called upon by her witch sisters to save them all, but can she do it?
5/5 🌟 from me!

Ivy has constantly searched for her mother throughout her life and now she believes she has found her on a remote Welsh island.
But when faced with her daughter her mother is paralysed with fear and wants her to go.
She is scared for her.
But it's already too late as she has awoken something malignant that is seeking her out.
Merlin wants Ivy for his own devious reasons.
When her mother is kidnapped it's upto Ivy and the witches to save her.

Ivy never knew her mother as she was given away at birth, desperately seeking her she eventually hits lucky and finds a lead on a place called Bardsey Island in Wales.
But the first meeting doesn't go to plan, her mother is scared and to go away for her own safety but why?
Now something from the past has been reawakened and it's now searching for Ivy.
Somehow she is a conduit to the past and her mother gave her away to keep her safe.
