Bittershore

Bittershore is the explosive sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller Sanctuary, an unputdownable fusion of small-town murder mystery and ancient Celtic witchcraft soon to be a major TV series on Sky from the creators of Poldark.

THEY LEFT SEEKING SANCTUARY

THEY RETURNED SEEKING VENGEANCE

All of America knows what happened in Sanctuary - a boy lost his footing at a party and a town went mad with grief. But not everyone believes it.

Now Detective Maggie Knight is forced before a congressional hearing, following a revival of persecution that hasn't been seen since Salem.

Exiled witch Sarah Fenn and her daughter Harper fled, seeking refuge. Instead, they find hope carried on whispers of a dangerous magic and a centuries-old legend promising power.

Until a brutal magical crime throws them all back into the crucible.

Murder mystery meets dark fantasy in this scorching fusion of modern-day witchcraft, small-town secrets, and the persecuted reclaiming their power - perfect for fans of Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow, and Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson.
