Hedgewitch of Foxhall

Ffion is the last hedgewitch in Foxhall. She practises small, careful magic, while the powerful Foxhall coven strips whole forests to fuel its spells. After a devastating loss, she decides to walk the full length of Offa's Dyke and tear it down herself, in the hope of returning Wales's vanishing magic to the land.

Two young men travel with her. Taliesin, known as the kingdom's "bastard prince", is ambitious and hates magic, but he wants the throne his father has held out to him and his brother. Dafydd, Tal's brother, is a blacksmith who would rather stay out of that contest altogether.

This is a young adult fantasy drawn from Welsh folklore. The story follows all three travellers as the quest turns into a love triangle in which every side is real, so the pull between Ffion, Tal and Dafydd runs in all directions.

The setting is a kingdom where magic is draining away and the people with the most power use it up fastest. Expect a road story built around a long walk, with the stakes split between a damaged land and a crown that two brothers are expected to compete for.
