Description

A feminist cozy romantasy retelling of the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, complete with a sapphic love story and a revenge tale, from USA Today bestselling author Tori Anne Martin, perfect for fans of The Spellshop . Fifteen years ago, a little girl’s father bartered her away to the old witch in the woods for some magic. Abandoned by her brother, Hans, who promised to keep her safe, Greta learns to embrace her new life as an apprentice to the witch and starts a new life as Miria. Two years ago, she rescued a young woman who was lost in those woods, and she fell in love. Just now, she learned that woman is engaged—against her will—to a man who once was complicit in trading his little sister. Not only that, but when his father used the magic the sister’s life had bought to bring the family wealth and power beyond measure, he had no trouble forgetting all about her. Soon, the young witch will leave the woods. Stop the wedding. Save the woman she loves. Get revenge. But beyond the woods, nothing is ever that simple.
