Description
Discover the next enchanting, atmospheric read from Kirsty Ferry, perfect for fans of C.J. Cooke and Laura Purcell.In the dead of winter, 1650...
As the Newcastle Witch Trials spread fear across the north, suspicion takes hold in Newbrough, near Hadrian's Wall. Meg Noble - healer, midwife, and the so-called 'Snow Witch' - finds solace at Coventina's Well. But when tragedy strikes, whispers of witchcraft begin to swirl, and something ancient is stirred - bound to a sacred dagger and a forgotten goddess.
Now, beneath the same well...
Historian Violet Marsh arrives at Hadrian's Wall to research the legend of the Snow Witch, but what begins as curiosity soon turns personal. As visions haunt her and the past bleeds into the present, Violet uncovers a story that was never laid to rest - and a presence that has been waiting centuries to reclaim what was taken.
The Snow Witch is a chilling, atmospheric tale of buried vengeance and unyielding female power - where the past doesn't die, it freezes and waits.

Person
Kirsty Ferry is from the North East of England and lives there with her husband and son and far too many books and art supplies to count. She holds a First Class Honours Degree in Literature, and an MA in Creative Writing, and won the English Heritage/Belsay Hall National Creative Writing Competition in 2009 with the ghostly tale "Enchantment". Kirsty loves writing ghostly mysteries and interweaving fact and fiction. The research is almost as much fun as writing the book itself, and if she can add a wonderful setting and a smattering of history, that's even better. Her day job involves sharing a building with an eclectic collection of ghosts, which can often prove rather interesting
