About this title

Synopsis

She was as wild and as deadly as a witch, did she have supernatural powers?

"Shame, pain and power," the gypsy said, "all three are yours - or nothing."

Thus the gypsies told the fortune of little Alys, daughter of the vicious broom-maker of the Purbeck moors. Alys kept this dream of her future to herself, to give her hope through the years of pain and starvation until she was old enough to run away and seek her fortune.

But the world was not kind to her, and she found that she had to be harsh, ruthless and cruel to achieve her ambitions. She was even willing to join a witches' coven to practice their potions on the King, and so become his mistress. At last she had the power he had always sought, but at what cost to her eternal soul?

Set in Dorset during the reign of Henry VII. When we first meet her, Alys Hughes lives in a hovel on the outskirts of Studland village, with her vicious, drunken slob of a father, Will the broom-maker. She's aged around fourteen when a gypsy tells her what destiny holds in store - "shame, pain, power - or nothing." Alys decides that "power" holds the most appeal and sets out to achieve it.
