Hello there. My name is Andrew Butterworth and I am, by day, a Graphic & Interactive Designer. Every other spare minute I get I am a budding fantasy fiction author. I am also the creator and regular contributor to the online social network for authors http://creativewriting.ning.com.

This novel has been approximately three years in the making and has been refined constantly over the past 6-12 months.

Petuana is once more at war but Niamh, heir to the Witche Throne, and her best friend Henry, could be the only hope in restoring peace between her people and the neighbouring Sorcerers. She embarks upon a journey to re-unite the ancient Spirit of the Sea, a powerful being entombed within a necklace, to his rightful place beside the Gods before he can be used for evil.

Niamh has no idea of the dangers that lie ahead. In her fight for peace she will cross paths with many strange and dangerous beings and face unimaginable sights.

Will her destiny prove to be what she had hoped for? Only time will tell.
