Half Bad - Tapa dura

An exclusive, signed hardback edition of Half Bad by Sally Green: the breathtaking debut novel about one boy's struggle for survival in a hidden society of witches.

Meet Nathan Byrn . . .

His mother was a healer, his father is a killer.
He's been kept in a cage since he was fourteen.

But if White Witches are good and Black Witches are evil, what happens if you are both?
