The
four children from The White Horse Talisman seek Ava’s circlet,
buried within the ancient stone circle of Avebury.
The third sunbeam
shot its magical light into a valley. There towered a Stone
Circle, great gray stones veiled in morning mist. The golden beam
lit the dew-covered grass.
The tide of light flooded and washed each Sarsen stone. The stones
were ready. As gray become gold, the largest stone spun on its
axis, the stood sentinel as before. The magic happened quickly,
without witness. That was about to change.
Four ordinary children were about to be called to the Circle.

“one of the most compelling things ... is the
way in which old magic and mounting tensions ... are so deftly
interwoven with the mundane realities of modern life. ... a source
of wonder and excitement... the language is as exquisitely magical
as the beings and events that it describes. ... a lovely story ...
a complete and satisfying story unto itself... “ CM Magazine
