We are delighted to be welcoming Genoveva Dimova and Julie Leong along to the shop on Saturday 23rd November at 6.30pm as they discuss cosy vs dark fantasy in relation to their thrilling new books Monstrous Nights and The Teller of Small Fortunes with Catriona Silvey.
Monstrous Nights by Genoveva Dimova:
With her magic reclaimed and her role in the community of Chernograd restored, Kosara’s life should finally be back to normal—but, of course, things can’t possibly be that simple.
She is now in possession of twelve witch’s shadows, which belonged to a series of young, magically powerful women lured into the deadly marriage with the Zmey that Kosara only narrowly escaped as a young woman. Holding them may grant her unprecedented power, but that doesn’t mean they’re always willing to do her bidding.
Dive into the breakneck conclusion to the Slavic folklore-inspired Witch's Compendium of Monsters duology, which began with Foul Days.
The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong:
Fleeing a troubled past, immigrant fortune teller Tao roams the dusty countryside with only her mule for company, telling small fortunes for small prices. Big fortunes come with big consequences...which she knows from bitter experience.
It’s a lonely life, until she encounters an ex-mercenary and a (semi) reformed thief, who recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a longing for adventure and, of course, a slightly magical cat. Tao sets down a new path companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as her friends start to break down her walls, the shadows of her past close in. Now, Tao must decide whether to risk everything to keep the family she never thought she could have.
Genoveva and Julie will be in conversation with Catriona Silvey, bestselling author of Meet Me in Another Life.
