Blackthorn Winter — Liz Williams

Four sisters are drawn from their ordinary lives into darker realms: “Combines stellar character work with exploration of British folklore and fairy tales.” -- The Fantasy Hive

Bee, Stella, Serena, and Luna are preparing for Christmas, but all is not merry and bright when fashion designer Serena's new collection is maliciously destroyed on the eve of its debut. A wealthy man miraculously comes to the rescue -- but he may be hiding something. Meanwhile, Bee has met a frightened, green-skinned child in a churchyard and offered her shelter. Is any of this connected to the magpie changeling who claims to be an angel sent to watch over Stella, or the increasingly frequent timeslips a pregnant Luna is experiencing? Something is coming for the Fallow sisters and those they love, but they don't know what -- and the siblings can't turn to their mother for help since she's gone wandering again. . . . Rediscover your sense of wonder in this follow-up to Comet Weather that “matches the charm, magic and lyricism of its predecessor” (The Fantasy Hive).
