She pretended she could not see them. They told her the fae weren’t real. Then they cut out a woman’s heart and she could no longer look away. 

Catherine’s first memories were of the fae. They visited her in her garden and wove garlands of flower in her hair. She offered them saucers of cream and honey.  But they repaid her in tricks and misfortune. Her parents didn’t believe her, no one did, and so all her life she took the blame for their mischief.  When Catherine arrives at her new home in the village of Thornwood, she determined to put her past behind her and live a normal life. That is until a girl is murdered by one of the fae. 

She has spent a lifetime looking the other way. She convinced herself she was mad and that the fae were not real. But a chance meeting with the handsome gardener, Ray Thorn, throws into question everything she thought she believed about the fae. She can no longer ignore the truth. Because the killer is after women who can see the fae and Catherine is their next victim. 

While the killer’s shadow looms, Catherine and Ray uncover more about her power and the dark secrets Thornwood hides. But time is running out and to find the killer, Ray brings her into his world, the mesmerizing and deadly faery. She should know better than to trust one of the fae. Making a deal with him could jeopardize everything she’s worked for but if she doesn’t she’ll be the next to lose her heart.  

Unlock the mysteries of Thornwood in HEART OF THORNS, the first in this gothic romantic fantasy trilogy. Fans of Carnival Row and Jane Austen will not want to miss this tale steeped in fae intrigue, romance, and mystery.

Feast of the Mother (Witch of the Lake Book 1) Kindle Edition by Miranda Honfleur (Author), Nicolette Andrews (Author)

Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany

A beautifully dark fairy tale with magic, mystery, and romance, blending folklore with history beneath the looming threat of brutal witch hunts and a cataclysmic demonic onslaught…

A young witch answers the call of her ancestors in this mythic dark fantasy set in pre-Medieval Eastern Europe.

Beneath the murky waters of the lake, an ancient being slumbers, and Brygida is its servant. Kept sheltered in the woods by her mothers from the nearby village, Brygida has never had so much as a friend—until the day she meets a charming stranger painting by the lake. He invites her to the village’s harvest feast, but her taste of the forbidden ends with a murder.

Called into service for the first time, Brygida must take up her ancestral duty as Reaper of Death and solve the murder within three days. If she brings the murderer to the lake on the third day, the being she serves will be sated. If she fails, Brygida herself will be drawn beneath the murky waters, and the village massacred. There’s only one problem: the main suspect is her charming painter, Kaspian.

As Brygida investigates, the dangers are many and answers few. The village and her family stand against her, and with time running short, the lake demands a price. Brygida believes Kaspian is innocent, but can she stake her life on it, when failure means condemning the rest of the village, and being dragged into the deep…?

Find out what lurks beneath the lake in FEAST OF THE MOTHER, the first entry in a romantic dark fantasy series inspired by Slavic mythology and folklore, sure to please fans of Juliet Marillier’s Blackthorn & Grim series and Naomi Novik’s Uprooted.
