Summary of the Book:
Betrayal brings grave ending to a noble bloodline. Forced to flee, its sole surviving heir is spared this fate by the timely intervention of a haunter of the wilds. In his charge, the maiden embraces the lore of the dark arts and rises to become the watch-keep of the woods. As decades pass, with her legend growing, the ‘witch of root and earth’ weaves subtle deceits in a tangled web of vengeance.
But will there be a fairy tale ending, or will poisoned legacies and pacts with dark forces see ambition unravel in her relentless pursuit of power?
Bloody, and brilliantly realised, Baird’s dark fantasy nightmare spins a lavish tale of dread, desire, and fantastical fury.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have to start by saying this book was heavy in so many ways. I was expecting a dark fairy tale but this was like Brothers Grimm level dark. I want it know there are some trigger warnings listed at the back section of it. It is a dark and emotions story for sure and there is not a lot of dialog in this book. That did take some getting used to. I have not seem many books written in this style.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
