About Apprentice Witch:
A small island with a big secret.
Venus King’s life couldn’t be going worse. At 35, she still hasn’t achieved her artistic dreams and can no longer afford rent. Her luck changes when she finds an ad for a cheap room in an old mansion on an island off the English coast.
The moment she steps off the train, she soon realises that both the mansion and the island of Cliffwood are more than they seem. Her new landlady Elsie is not only part of an ancient magical family but also a ghost who was murdered only hours before Venus arrived. Even worse, she’s being accused of the murder by Elsie’s vengeful cousin, who wants to turn the mansion into apartments.
Venus must learn Elsie’s magical secrets to prove her innocence and help her new mentor move on. But she soon finds that solving this mystery involves more danger than she realises.
