    About this ebook

    When eleven-year-old Gwen ventures into the forest beyond her castle home she comes across the magical island of Avalon and her life changes forever. The lady of the lake, Nineve, asks Gwen to embark on a quest to protect the enchanted island of Avalon from the evil sorceress Morgana la Fay.

    Morgana has imprisoned the eight Spell Sisters of Avalon throughout the kingdom and stolen their magical powers. It's up to Gwen, her best friend Flora and a very special horse named Moonlight to find the sisters and return them to Avalon before its magic is lost forever.

    In their third adventure Gwen and Flora must find Isabella the Butterfly Sister. But with wolves under Morgana's magical control stalking them through the forest, will the girls be able to find Isabella and return her safely to Avalon?

      Spell Sisters - Amber Castle

      image5

      image6 organa Le Fay stood in the opening of an enormous hollowed-out tree. Her long dark hair fell to her waist, and her skin was pale as moonlight. A raven was perched high in the branches, watching her with its beady black eyes.

      ‘See what I can do, my beauty!’ breathed Morgana. She pointed at the ground and clicked her fingers. The fallen leaves around her feet began to shake and tremble as large, long-legged black spiders scuttled out from the surrounding trees, drawn by her magic. They came from everywhere – dropping from branches on slivers of thread, running down tree trunks, gathering around her like a moving black carpet of crawling servants.

      ‘Behold!’ Morgana cried, laughing cruelly. ‘All insects now move to my will!’ She clicked her fingers again and a large fly appeared in front of the raven’s beak.

      The raven opened its beak and snapped the fly up.

      Morgana chuckled. The raven flapped its wings and flew down to her shoulder with an appreciative caw.

      ‘Now I must see what is going on. Show me the meddling girls!’ Morgana hissed, pointing at the spiders. They swarmed around her bare feet, forming a picture. It showed two girls. One girl had red hair and was holding a harp. The other had blonde hair and held a flute to her mouth.

      ‘Ridiculous children!’ Morgana snarled, her expression darkening as she looked at the girls. ‘They shall not stop me. Soon the island of Avalon will be mine! These girls may have freed two of the Spell Sisters of Avalon but the remaining six are still imprisoned, and while they are trapped, their powers belong to me! By the time of the next lunar eclipse, the Lady of the Lake’s magic will no longer be able to prevent me from crossing to the island of Avalon and taking it for my own.’ Her jet-black eyes glittered as she caressed the raven’s feathers. ‘I shall rule Avalon and bring destruction to this kingdom. All who hear my name shall fear me!’

      Looking down at the spiders now starting to scuttle over her bare feet, Morgana’s mouth twisted into a triumphant smile. . .

      image7image8

      image9 h, I just can’t do this!’ Gwen exclaimed. Standing up, she put the small harp down crossly. ‘I’m useless at playing music.’

      Her cousin Flora lowered the flute she was playing. ‘Gwen, you’re not useless. You just need to practise more.’

      ‘Practise, practise, practise! I’m bored of practising!’ exclaimed Gwen. Shaking back her mane of red hair, she went to the narrow window of the guest bedchamber in Croxton Manor. The autumn sun was shining and she could see the trees with their golden and red leaves in the orchard beyond. She felt like she could almost smell the scent of ripe apples and woodsmoke in the air. ‘I want to go out exploring,’ she said longingly.

      Outside the window there was a whole new world ripe for discovery. Croxton Manor belonged to Flora and Gwen’s aunt and uncle. The girls had arrived, along with Flora’s mother, a few hours ago. They were visiting to celebrate cousin Bethany’s sixteenth birthday, and were staying for two nights. When they arrived in the carriage, Gwen had noticed beehives and a millpond, kennels and stables. She was itching to go out and look at everything properly.

      ‘We can’t go out. Mother said we have to rehearse our song for the party tonight,’ Flora reminded her.

      ‘Oh, it’s not fair. Why do we have to be the ones to entertain everyone anyway?’ groaned Gwen. ‘It’s a stupid idea.’

      Flora smoothed down her sapphire-blue dress, a colour that perfectly matched the colour of her wide-set eyes. ‘You know we have to play tonight. It’s cousin Bethany’s birthday, and Mother asked us especially. She will be really cross with us if we don’t play the song well in front of everyone – we’re representing her household. And you know Bethany will be upset too. Please, Gwen, come on. I really want her to be happy; it’s her special day.’

      Gwen rolled her eyes. ‘I honestly don’t know why you want to please Bethany so much. All she ever does is sit around reading silly poems about love and sighing over boys.’

      ‘No she doesn’t,’ Flora protested.

      ‘She does. And she hardly pays us any attention at all,’ said Gwen.

      Flora sighed dreamily. ‘She’s just so pretty and elegant and lady-like. I want to be like her when I’m older. Do you think I will be?’

      ‘I hope not!’ Gwen snorted. ‘You’ll be very boring if you are!’

      ‘Bethany’s not boring,’ protested Flora.

      ‘She is!’ Gwen pushed a hand through her hair, which hung loosely at her
