Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver is a dark reimagining of Snow White steeped in poison, intrigue and treason of the most magical kind. 'A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic, and a fantastic cat!' - Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop Healer Anja regularly drinks poison. Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on. But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja's unorthodox methods can save her. Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow - but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick. Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . . 'A wonderfully offbeat fantasy . . . as delightful as it is impressive' - Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries Hemlock & Silver was a No. 6 Sunday Times bestseller the w/e 23rd August.
