Fast paced story featuring Kit Marlowe who it seems is in need of the help of one red haired witch, he finds one imprisoned by "The Circle" and in trying to help her escape he bites off a bit more than he bargained for with Gillian. Gillian just wants to get herself and her daughter out of the prison and out of England, in the process of which some really strange happenings occur and she inherits the full power of an elderly witch. This was a great story in a short amount of time that leaves one looking forward to part two in The Queen's Witch. Nice little novella to enjoy as a fast read on a summer evening.
