Synopsis

The Witchmaid's Quest - Maggie Brown was a hearthwitch, good at whipping up banquets and starting up fires. But her magic was not much good for tracking down her faery step-sister who'd run away with a gypsy. So she set out with Ching, the talking cat, and Colin Songsmith, a travelling minstrel, to bring back the beautiful Amberwine. Meeting a unicorn, a lovesick dragon and an enchanted bear. Braving ambush, flood and capture by gypsies in a rescue mission fraught with excitement and danger. - from the cover
