Quote:
Supernatural thriller Dark Sister won the British Fantasy Society Best Novel award.

Housewife and mother Maggie discovers an herbalist's journal; soon after, her life unfurls wildly and runs horribly aground. It seems that the owner of the journal was not just an herb woman, but also a witch, possibly with real powers. Inspired by this forgotten woman, Maggie begins to dabble in the arts of Wicca. She is helped by Old Liz, an old woman with a deep knowledge of the ancient ways passed down through the generations. Maggie starts to find her way in a world of power and magic and the gifts it brings her are exciting--a sense of freedom, purpose, even clairvoyance. But every gift has its counterbalance, and Maggie sees things she might have wanted to remain hidden. Even more ominously, it seems that in unearthing the journal, Maggie has awakened deep tragedies from an abandoned time, and the evil that now stalks her and her family might be insatiable and unstoppable.
