"The excitement of acting and creating a show combined with the thrills of the supernatural"
Kallie is excited, if a bit apprehensive, when she wins a place on a summer theatre camp. The camp is based in the grounds of an old house in a little village deep in the Gloucestershire countryside, and the theatre itself was built in the 17th century.
Newly restored, it’s very atmospheric. The play they’re putting on also dates back to the 1600s and was written by a young woman Ellsabet Graveheart, who was driven out of the village and condemned as a witch.
As strange, inexplicable things start to happen, Kallie and her new friend Emilia realise that the story Ellsabet was telling isn’t finished, and in an adventure full of suspense and surprises, they call on her help as they take on powerful supernatural enemies.
Readers who enjoy the excitement of acting and creating a show will love this story, as will those who relish spooky stories which draw out all their heroes’ strength and courage. The drama is equally high, whether the action is taking place on the theatre stage or in the shadowy Wildstorm woods, and Kallie and her new friends hugely engaging characters.
