Description

A gothic retelling of The Juniper Tree, where a young witch seeks to discover her identity and escape the domination of her abusive wizard father. In this beautifully written tale, Marlinchen and her sisters are the last true witches in a city shifting from magic to industry. They are forced to live in the shadows, treating clients with archaic remedies and nostalgic charm, while their tyrannical father keeps them locked away in their crumbling home. As Marlinchen sneaks out to revel in the city's thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theatre, she meets a dancer who captures her heart. But as their late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father's rage. A monster lurks in the city, borne of intolerance and resentment, and suffused with old-world power. This haunting tale of fear, survival, hope, and yearning will break your heart and chill you to the very marrow.
