Witchwater: Manilla Press

In unsettled waters, it will take a new kind of myth to turn the tide . . .

Evelyn is a river woman, part of a group of wise women, marked out by the confession bottles they carry around their necks, that conceal their deepest secrets. Living with her grandmother and her sister Merryn, her beliefs are bound up with the ancient folklore of this alternate England, shaped around its waterways.

But into this land, something dark has been seeping. The young King hasn't been seen for weeks and the church's influence over the Dowager Queen, led by the sinister Lord Defender, grows ever stronger. New edicts are made, outlawing many of the old ways and denouncing the river women as witches.

Before long Evelyn will find all she holds dear at terrible threat . . .

A spellbinding novel brimming with myth and legend, WITCHWATER is an unmissable new story of women and power, fate and hope, and about finding the strength to turn the tide . . .
