The Girl Who Drank the Moon

Summary: The Protectorate is run by some powerful, manipulative people who have convinced the citizens of the town that, every year, they must give one of the town’s babies to a witch in order to keep her from harming them all. Little do they know that the witch really exists, but, contrary to what the elders say, she is a kind old woman who, one year, feeds the sacrificed baby moonlight, causing her to gain magical powers. As the witch raises the child herself, evil forces stir in the Protectorate, and one special citizen decides that he doesn’t like the way things are in the city. This novel is a fantastic story of familial love, enchanting magic, and good rising up against evil.
