Ingamald is
the story of a girl who eats her own mother.
It is also the story of
a lonely orphan, a misunderstood girl-woman, a shunned and feared adept
at magic. Moreover, it is a tale of friendship–its life-saving
and healing powers.
Barely sixteen
and banished from her village, Ingamald sets forth to confront her
estranged mother, Spinne. This cruel sorceress aims to destroy any
adversaries who seek to unravel the ill-fated threads
in a tapestry of destruction she has woven. While on her quest, Ingamald
receives her first kiss, attends her first party, and fancies a musician
rover with a gold tooth.
Ingamald is the first in
a series of books featuring the witchy heroine.
