Description:

A Study in Drowning (Paperback)

Effy has always believed in fairy tales, haunted since childhood by visions of the Fairy King. Her solace lies in the pages of Angharad, an epic about a mortal girl who loves and ultimately destroys the Fairy King. As Effy navigates her stifling first term at a prestigious architecture college, her tattered copy of the book keeps her afloat. When the late author's family announces a contest to design his house, Effy feels destined to participate. However, Hiraeth Manor, a decrepit estate on the brink of crumbling into the sea, presents an impossible challenge. Upon arrival, she discovers she isn't alone; Preston Héloury, a literature scholar, is also there, determined to prove her favorite author a fraud. As they investigate the author's legacy through letters, books, and diaries, they uncover dark forces—both mortal and magical—that threaten their very existence.

Lady Macbeth (Hardback)

Fair is foul and foul is fair in this reimagining of Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare’s most notorious villainess. This version gives her a voice, a past, and a power that transforms the narrative crafted by men. The Lady knows the tales: her eyes drive men to madness, and she is wed to a Scottish brute who brings his warrior ways to their marriage. In a hostile court, survival demands all her wiles and hidden witchcraft. Yet, she remains unaware of her husband's own occult secrets, the prophecy that protects him, and the greater, more dangerous magic she possesses—magic that threatens the world's order. But she will learn.
