White Scar

The novel White Scar written by Jill Petts is set in the White Scar Cave in Ingleton, Yorkshire.

Jill tells the story of Ralph and Alba Milway who are twins of 14-years-old.

In 2050 a young woman called Aster is accused of the murder of two fairy folk, a Bishop and the sacrifice of an only son.

By the use of magic she, the judge who sentenced her and her loving, faithful cat are imprisoned in the White Scar Cave, together with one of the three magical wands used to bind them all in the cave.

In the year 2150, a century later, the boys inadvertently free them from their prison cave which, quite understandably, brings more than a little confusion and adventure into their lives.

They find themselves involved in a titanic battle between good an evil. But the twins need to exercise extreme caution, for some things are not exactly what they appear to be.

The background of the story is made even more complicated because it is set against a backdrop of the Earth being post-apocalyptic, when a third world war was brought to an utterly unexpected conclusion when a meteor smashed into the Earth.

What would happen to Ralph and his sister, Alba? 

This is a magical, mysterious story and will make a wonderful Chirstmas gift for young readers.

It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
