The Ragwitch by Garth Nix
The Ragwitch by Garth Nix is the story of a child innocently releasing a great evil back into the world and being taken with that evil, as the vessel carrying that evil, into danger and violence.
It's a dark book.
Innocent Julia is followed by her brother Paul who is determined to save her. If he must save an entire world to do it, he will. Any foe of the ragwitch is Paul's ally. Julia has friends and helpers as well, people who fight against the Ragwitch from within...literally from within.
I've already read other of Garth Nix's work Abhorsen, Lirael, and Sabriel. I liked them better for plot and character reasons though I enjoyed the characters and landscapes in Ragwitch.
