    " Weyward spans three women's lives in three different centuries, connected by blood and one very unique gift.

Real magic." --Abigail Dean, New York Times bestselling author of Girl A "Scuttling with insects and dripping with dark magic, this book got its claws into me and simply refused to let go.

With Weyward , Emilia Hart bursts onto the literary scene with a howl of feminist rage." --Lizzie Pook, author of Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter "Hart evokes a powerful sense of place in each of the narratives, and elicits mystery and a rich atmosphere at every turn. A brave and original debut, Weyward is a spellbinding story about what may transpire when the natural world collides with a legacy of witchcraft ." --Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary "A very poignant story of female endurance and hidden power, humming with a sly, exhilarating magic.

      • Magic, mystery, strong female Characters

        I had loaned this to my DIL and she sold it at her yard sale. Argh. Had to get another for my library! A little magic, a little mystery, and lots of strong women!
