The Witch's Daughter (The Witch's Daughter, #1)

by Paula Brackston

The danger, as always, will come from afar. It does not lie in wait but follows me. I can never let myself be made vulnerable by the illusion of safety.

There is comfort to be had in the company of wild things and delight to be found in their trust.

I am accustomed to keeping my own company; it cannot be said to be an unfamiliar state for me.
