Victorian governess Winifred Hall knows a con when she sees one. When her bratty young charge transforms overnight into a perfectly behaved block of wood, she soon realises that the real boy has been abducted by the Fair Folk. Unfortunately, the lord of Witchwood Manor is the only man in England who doesn’t believe in faeries—which leaves Winnie in the unenviable position of rescuing the young lord-to-be all by herself. Witchwood Manor is bigger than its inhabitants realise, however, and full of otherworldly dangers. As Winnie delves deeper into the other side of the house, she enlists the aid of its dark and dubious faerie butler, Mr Quincy, who hides several awful secrets behind his charming smile. Winnie hopes to make her way to the centre of the Witchwood Knot through wit and cleverness… but when all of her usual tricks fail, who will she dare to trust?

Kera Stone was born on February 29th, 1820. This falls on a leap year, combined with this she was left-handed and her personality was not considered normal among the young women of her time. All of these details led her to be known as a witch, worshiper of the devil and someone who did not belong simply for being different from others. She was no witch, no devil worshiper, although in her eyes life would of been much easier if she was. This is her diary. It tells the story of the bullying and victimization that ultimately led to what Kera is now. In a world of the small-minded and judgmental people, surrounded by cruelty, she was lucky to find kindness, as well as a new existence opening up to her. Kera’s diary is the truth of what she was and what she has become. As a new creation, she found creatures she could never have imagined and love she never knew before. Now, her time is short. She and others like her have lost their ways and started a war. Perhaps through her words, a solution can be found. Maybe recording her story can save both Kera and her friends before it’s to late. Written in honor of the authors (J.Lee) friends, this book is fiction but the characters are based on the real people in her life to whom she owes everything.
