A captivating new original 20-page short story by Paula Brackston, author of

The Witch’s Daughter, “The Witches of the Blue Well” is the story of Ceri, a

young woman in early eighteenth-century Wales whose grandmother always told

her the magic blood of the women in their family flows through her veins. But

when famine and hardship come to their village, will Ceri be able to harness

her magic to save herself and her sister, or will her power bring about the

destruction of all that she loves? With her signature enchanting style, Paula

Brackston has penned an enthralling story set in the world of her newest novel

The Winter Witch.

In addition to the short story, THE WITCHES OF THE BLUE WELL, this also

contains a letter from the author, Paula Brackston, on writing THE WINTER

WITCH, an excerpt from “Welsh Folk Lore: a Collection of the Folk-Tales and

Legends of North Wales,” an authentic publication by the Reverend Elias Owen,

from 1886, on witchcraft in Wales, and an excerpt from THE WINTER WITCH, a

beautiful and moving novel coming from St. Martin’s Press in February.
