Synopsis/Details
Alicia, an impulsive and unfiltered American woman, moves to a quaint Northumbrian village in the UK for a fresh start.
While visiting the local Lord's stately home, she unwittingly raises an ancient amulet that grants her enchanted powers. As the amulet's protector, Alicia must defend it against a malevolent brotherhood of sorcerers determined to destroy it and use her as a sacrifice to unleash an evil demon.
Alicia faces thrilling adventures and mishaps while learning to harness her magic. With the help of fantastical creatures and her newfound abilities, she has an epic showdown, where she confronts the evil brotherhood but is betrayed by her date, leading to her capture.
Through the power of friendship and unity, Alicia breaks free and, alongside her allies, vanquishes the sorcerers, ensuring the amulet's protection and heralding a new era of hope and strength.
"A Shadow in the Hills" is an enchanting fantasy adventure that blends humour, heart, and the transformative journey of an ordinary woman embracing her extraordinary destiny.
