Stonewitch by Skye McKenna

Magic, mystery, and a dash of danger – Stonewitch, the newest instalment in Skye McKenna’s Hedgewitch series, is another beautifully crafted adventure that deepens the world readers have come to love.

This time, apprentice witch Cassie Morgan faces her toughest challenge yet: she must invent an entirely new spell to complete the next stage of her training. Struggling for inspiration, Cassie jumps at the chance to attend the Covenmoot, a once-every-five-years gathering of witches from across Britain and Ireland. The covens meet in the remote valley of Glen Carlin in the Scottish Highlands – a landscape alive with folklore, secrets, and something dark stirring among the stones.

As Cassie and her friends compete in the Covenmoot games, rumours begin to swirl about a menacing figure known only as the Stonewitch. What follows is a spellbinding mix of adventure, friendship, and courage as Cassie learns that true magic lies as much in heart as in skill.

McKenna’s world-building continues to enchant – full of shimmering detail, humour, and warmth. Her writing balances wonder and wisdom, offering young readers a story that’s exciting, empowering, and deeply rooted in a sense of place. Fans of fantasy and mythology will adore this series, and Stonewitch is a particularly strong addition, rich with Scottish atmosphere and imagination.

Perfect for readers aged 8–12, this is a book to curl up with on an autumn evening – preferably by candlelight, with a cat nearby.
