Cast out, thrown out, on the moor

Near Witch, Moor Witch, now no more

Lexi and her sister Wren live in the village of Near, where children sing rhymes of the Near Witch, and there are no strangers. Until the night Lexi sees a boy who fades like smoke, out on the moor at night.

The next night, the first of the children disappears from their bed. Desperate and panicked, the villagers scour the moors for their lost children and someone to blame.

But as Lexi befriends the mysterious boy and calls on the wisdoms of the elderly and mysterious Thorne sisters, she realises something far stranger is happening. Her search for the missing children takes her deep into the moors, where ancient secrets lie buried and waiting. Where the witch still sings her hills to sleep.
