First Spells
Mayelana nale audiobook
A dark and magical tale of witches, ghosts, and dangerous family secrets.
Twelve-year-old Vianne has always been different—she sees ghosts, feels magic, and sees the future in her dreams—and knows her life isn’t exactly normal.
Raised by her single mother, Vianne knows little about her family—except that her mum is terrified of her sister, the powerful and mysterious witch aunt, Suzanne. When Vianne’s grandmother falls ill, the family is forced back together. But Aunt Suzanne has been waiting for this moment—and what she wants could change everything.
With only a magical cat and a ghost to guide her, Vianne must unlock her hidden powers, face long-buried secrets, and discover who she really is before it’s too late.
Perfect for fans of spooky magic, brave girls, and twisty supernatural adventures.
