AfterWitch

Felicity 'Tea' Greene is a new kind of witch, an 'AfterWitch', although she may not yet know it. Living in the isolated rural village of Blight, Tea feels bored and frustrated, yet every time she attempts to leave the village, something goes wrong. At first the reasons appear accountable, mundane: her mum falls sick with an undiagnosed illness, she fails her mock driving test and she can't catch a bus in an area where public services have been drastically cut. Yet, after a while, Tea begins to suspect there may be more to it than that. Could there be a conspiracy to prevent her from leaving, to stop her joining her sister in the city? But why would the locals want to keep her imprisoned in the village? After all, she had never exactly been popular. Is Tea the victim of black magic, or are her fears unfounded, triggered by her mental health issues? 'AfterWitch' is a new kind of witch story a teenager's struggle for identity as she fights against the oppressive forces who want to 'take back control'.
