The Salt Bind

A hugely successful and poetically charged foray into a world of folk magic * Daily Mail *
A moving exploration of sisterhood and community, this is an evocatively written folkloric fantasy * The Guardian *
Enchanting * The Herald *
This is a tale I crave to hear around a campfire. The Salt Bind is an utterly mesmerising gothic fairytale and a love letter to all the women who are marked as witches simply for being different. Wild, darkly woven, and overflowing with courage, this novel is an enchantment you cannot miss * Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb *
A truly immersive read steeped in the living landscape of earth and sea. The Salt Bind is folkloric fantasy as it should be - pernicious, wild and beholden to no-one. A story of outcast women, of defiance and loss, sisterhood and growth, the story lingered long after the final pages * Eliza Chan, author of Fathomfolk *
A fable of family ties and belonging, of outcasts and alchemy. Spellbinding and striking, The Salt Bind is a siren song of folklore and mystery, of Cornwall calling you home * Victoria Hawthorne, author of The Darkest Night *
Thrilling and bewitching from the very first deliciously-crafted paragraph. This story of sisterhood, magic, folklore and tradition sets Rebecca Ferrier up as a first-rate writer of this age. * Chịkọdịlị Emelụmadụ, author of Dazzling *
