Bound Magic

Tilly is a supremely likable character with a relatable voice. 

A 12-year-old girl, whose powers to see past, present, and future were bound, goes on an adventure in a world of mythical creatures, where she befriends a weredog, to save her friend from an evil witch.

Tilly is desperate to find her cousin who went missing in Wythic Wood. She finally convinces her gran to let her stay at Opa’s, who is the magical leader of their family. Opa’s property, Clayton Forest, is right next to Wythic Wood.

Tilly meets up with her twin cousins, Jess and Zach, and they meet a fairy, gnome, witch, and goblin who live on Opa’s property. They learn there’s a witch who controls the beasts and other creatures in Wythic Wood and that she’s likely captured Michael as well as Tilly’s gran’s cousin, Clayton.

Tilly discovers she’s a seer but her gran has bound her magic. She doesn’t know how she can go up against the Witch of Wythic Wood without her powers, but she’s determined to try with the help of Jess and Zach.

Publish date is set by SparkPress for the United States of America Summer 2025.
