The
Witches of Crannock Dale
Mara
of the League Book 1
by
Thomas M. Kane
Genre:
Fantasy
When an enemy army
threatens eleven-year old Mara’s home, she makes up her mind to
save her family, one way or another. But when the knights protecting
her village arrest her favorite aunt for witchcraft, she discovers
that the difference between friend and foe may not be as obvious as
she once thought.
This is a story of
war and espionage, set in a low fantasy world. It is also about a
child getting to know her mother and father in a new way.
Mamma
herded me to my bedroom. “You go in and close the door.” She
looked down the corridor toward the parlor and then back at me. “We
are not finished here, do you understand? We are going to talk about
this later, and when your father comes back, we are talking about it
with him too. Do you understand me?” I
nodded, and Mamma went back to the parlor. Once she was gone, I went
in and closed the door, just as I’d been bid. Then I saw something
which made me feel as if my heart was going to stop. My cat Maxwell
had found the secret letter. He lay on his back on my desk, chomping
it, using his forepaws to keep the crescent-shaped remains in front
of his mouth as if he were eating a slice of melon. The
room was quiet, but I felt as if I could hear a waterfall roaring in
my head. Maxwell had gotten me in a lot of trouble, but it’s no use
scolding a cat, so I picked him up, cradled him against my chest and
rocked him. “Maxie, Maxie, Maxie, I wish you hadn’t done that.
Now people are going to get killed.” Maxwell
put his chin on my shoulder and purred.
