Althie

Althea Westway has been told her entire life that her mutation, her skin, puts her at risk.

She's content to stay with her sister and mother, safe in their cottage in the West Country forest. Then one day, after a game of hide and seek with her sister, she meets a young boy.

Made of tin.

He tells her stories of the world and encourages her to join him at the Marbost school.

Nathaniel and Althea are both Ozian outcasts, but know that they can get through anything together.

So what goes wrong?

Althie is a new take on the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and dives deep into the question: Is anyone ever truly just evil?

Whilst Althie is related to the "Oz" series, it is written as a standalone, allowing anyone to dive into Althea's story.
