Colman by the late Monica Furlong completes the series that began with Wise Child, which PW called ""an intriguing portrayal of an ancient way of life."" Here, young Colman, who escaped his native land with Wise Child and Juniper after Juniper's witch trial, begins to discover magical abilities of his own. Meanwhile, he and the others travel back to Cornwall where they must infiltrate the castle of Juniper's relatives-who have usurped her brother's rightful throne.
