Hemlock & Silver

A darkly enchanting tale of poison and power. Beautifully crafted and utterly spellbinding – Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of Book of NightA new favourite! Hemlock & Silver achieves the extraordinary feat of feeling both classic and unique. Masterful storytelling with an unforgettable heroine, creepy magic and a fantastic cat!

Kingfisher at her finest. Continuing in her tradition of horror-tinged, fairytale-inspired storytelling, Kingfisher pairs a wonderfully offbeat fantasy narrative with her signature wit, which compares favourably with the likes of Terry Pratchett. It’s impossible not to root for our clever, unapologetically bumbling protagonist, Healer Anja.
