About this ebook
In a town beset by demons, from which the children are disappearing, redheaded Mira grows up wild and willful. When she’s around, soups boil over and flowers catch fire, and one night in her sleep she unwittingly turns her house around.
The morning of her thirteenth birthday, Mira receives a gift from the river: a gold key. It will lead her on a journey, to seek the door her key will open.
The Witch’s Journey is a dark fairytale embroidered with fairytales, full of sorrows and terrors, heartbreaks and delights, chocolates and mayhem and magic.
“A book to savor as you would fine chocolate: rich, dark, dreamlike, familiar as a fairytale, sweet as sin. I adored it.”
—Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award–winning author of The Once and Future Witches
“Such a special story; the kind that steps into your dreams then wakes you with the taste of chocolate on your lips as a shadow in the corner walks away, and you are left remembering a place you’ve read about and a witch you suspect knows you’ve been there, and it all feels like the most delicious secret. I loved this book!”
—Mary Rickert, World Fantasy Award–winning author of The Memory Garden
“This is rich and delicious magic for the bravest of readers.”
—William Alexander, US National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets
