A stunning historical fantasy debut steeped in the salt and superstition of the Cornish coast. Perfect for readers of Circe and Godkiller by Hannah Kaner.
Forgotten sirens, mischievous sea gods, and the lore from days long since passed weave an irresistible tale. The people of Portscatho are bound to traditions and to the sea, living side by side with the spirits, gods, and monsters that inhabit the rollicking waters. When Kensa and her half-sister come across a dying sea beast on the Cornish shore, Kensa is quick to claim credit for the discovery and in doing so steals the glory and her sister's position as apprentice to the local wise woman. It seems an appropriate station for Kensa, who has always existed out of step with the others in the village. Yet to be a wise woman is to be alone--unmarried, childless, relied upon, and lusted after yet never truly wanted. Kensa's only real company is her mentor, the wise woman Isolde. But Isolde won't live forever, and when she falls ill, Kensa will do anything to save her and retain her newfound elevation within the community. Even if that means having to seek help from the Bucka, a terrifying and unfathomable sea god who guards the tides around Portscatho. In doing so, she'll risk her life, her family, and everything she's sworn to protect. Beautifully written, expertly crafted, and full of engaging and compelling Cornish mythology,A Spell for Drowning tackles the expectations and limitations put on women by society, what it means to be feared and needed at the same time, and how the desire for acceptance can either save or destroy us. With the historical wonder of
A Thousand Ships, A Spell for Drowning is in good company with compelling historical fantasies that enchant readers across the board.
