'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 The Atlas Six

A witch and a witch-hunter go head to head in this captivating, enemies-to-lovers romantasy from the queen of slow burn, Brigitte Knightley, author of the global bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy.
After centuries of persecution, Hedgewitches have learned to hide their existence. Threats to their secrecy are punishable by death. So, when the mysterious Lord Breoch launches a witch-hunt across the Highlands, he marks himself for assassination.
Thalline, a prickly, quick-tempered Hedgewitch, is tasked with entering Breoch's keep glamoured as a 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 is drawn to edges and gaps and dark places, but Breoch's darkness fills her with dread. She begins to understand that he is just a man in the same way that she is just a governess. Thalline may not be the only monster under the bed.
'Hedgewitch is magnificent and wild, a lush and thorny romantic fantasy with a heroine I'd die for, and the sexiest slowburn. Hedgewitch is your next dangerous new obsession' Tasha Suri, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Isle in the SIlver Sea
