Summary
To be invisible is to be safe. After centuries of persecution and witch-hunts, the Hedgewitch Order has learned to hide its existence, reducing witches to things of legend. Threats to the Order’s secrecy are punished by death. So, when Lord Breoch, a warlord in the Highlands, puts up a bounty for information leading to the capture of a Hedgewitch, he marks himself for assassination.
Thalline, a prickly, quick-tempered Hedgewitch, is tasked with entering Breoch’s fort, glamoured as a mild-mannered governess. Her mission is twofold: find out why he is hunting witches—and then kill him.
She soon discovers a strange pull of power surrounding Breoch, akin to walking the edge of an abyss. As a Hedgewitch, Thalline likes edges and gaps and dark places you’re a bit scared to put your hand into, lest it be bitten. But Breoch’s darkness… Breoch’s darkness fills her with dread.
In crumbling Fort Brechan, Thalline may not be the only monster under the bed.
Critic Reviews
"A singularly perfect book... Knightley's ability to write romance that feels equally seductive and lived-in is comparable only to herself, and yet still somehow she outdoes herself. Bury me with this book."—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Gifted and Talented
"Brigitte Knightley is in a league of her own when it comes to fantastical stories and whimsical world building. Hedgewitch delivers readers a magical and gothic story full of espionage, intrigue, and electric romantic tension. This novel is perfect for fans of Jane Eyre and those who maybe fantasized about Batman’s Bane a little too much, in the best, most sexy way."—Danica Nava, USA Today Bestselling Author of Sunflower Season
"Hedgewitch is magnificent and wild, a lush and thorny romantic fantasy with a heroine I'd die for, and the sexiest slowburn... Your next dangerous new obsession."—Tasha Suri, USA Today and internationally bestselling author of The Isle in the Silver Sea
"Atmospheric, sensual, and darkly funny, Knightley’s sophomore novel pairs a central mystery with immaculate worldbuilding, deep lore, richly drawn characters, and romantic tension so thick you could cut it. Hedgewitch is an utter triumph!"—Keshe Chow, Sunday Times Bestselling Author of Strange Familiars
