<p><b>''A tale of fear and survival, hope and yearning and defiance, in timelessly elegant prose. It will enchant you, break your heart, and chill you to the very marrow</b>.' Samantha Shannon on <i>The Wolf and the Woodsman</i><br><br>From the <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Wolf and the Woodsman</i> comes a gothic retelling of <i>The Juniper Tree</i>, where a young witch seeks to discover her identity and escape the domination of her abusive wizard father. Perfect for fans of Angela Carter, Catherynne M. Valente and Shirley Jackson<br><b>_________________________________</b><br><br><b>A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites.</b><br><br>Marlinchen and her sisters are the last true witches in a city shifting from magic to industry. Viewed as little more than tourist traps, they spend their days treating clients with archaic remedies and nostalgic charm, while attempting to placate their tyrannical, xenophobic wizard father, who keeps his daughters locked away in their crumbling home.<br><br>But at night, they sneak out to revel in the city's thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theatre, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart. But as their late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father's rage. And while their city flourishes, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power.<br><br><i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller, June 2022 (w/c 27th June 2022)</p>
