The Debut Trilogy
The Witch of Willow Lane
Maria Ionescu is born in Botiza, a small village in the hills of Maramureș, where her grandmother's charms are spoken over cradles and doorways. When she is chosen as one of ten students for the Scholomance, Romania's hidden school of witchcraft, the words she grew up whispering take on a new and dangerous weight.
Years later, a woman tends a garden on Willow Lane in Shere, a village in the Surrey hills. Her neighbours know her as quiet, foreign and kind. They know nothing about her past, or what it cost her to leave it.
For readers of Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik.
