PRAISE FOR WENDY PYM
'Raven and the Witch is a captivating dark fantasy read that executes elements of folklore and magic. An engaging tale for anyone wanting to lose themselves where magic and reality meet. Raven Shikoba weaves the tale of a fierce shape-shifting Raven with an extraordinary ability to perceive the unseen. She and her friends must confront a formidable blood witch that has a thirst for blood, power and immortality. With the Blood Witch watching their every move, Raven and her friends hunt to find the witch that threatens their entire existence.' Renee Mckay
'This is a novel that will appeal to young adults and adults alike. The author has created an epic high-fantasy story set in a beautifully imaginative, detailed world with magnificent scenery where the likable and believable characters are caught up in the battle of good and evil. Weaving in Native American culture and folklore with a rich connection to nature, the young shapeshifting heroine 'Raven' battles the world between light and dark accompanied by her closest friends.' Petra Lovey
'Not only my very first foray into the fantasy genre, but it also turned out to be an unexpectedly heartfelt introduction. I dove into this enchanting world with little knowing what to expect, and I quickly found myself hooked by Raven's deeply personal journey. What struck me the most was how relatable Raven's struggle was, even when magic was in full display. She battles with self- doubt and identity....It mirrors her inner evolution, every transformation felt like a powerful symbol of her growth, and I found myself rooting for her every step of the way. For a first-time fantasy read, this book has set a high bar, and I'm excited to see where this genre takes me next.' Raven Stjohn
'I am an avid fantasy reader, but this story is like nothing I have ever read, and I need to know what happens next!' Erin Kenny
