Fireside Magic: Tales of Witches and Magic inspired by Scottish Folklore
Dare to venture beyond the glass, where stories hold a mirror to our shadows...
In this sinister and spellbinding world, the veil between mortal and supernatural, magic and evil, and beauty and horror is stretched to its thinnest.
Blood-relatives are not who they seem, black metal and witchcraft weave a rite of spring, a girl-child is blessed by a blackthorn bush, and Nicnevin, Queen of the Hags, invades the dreams of the lost.
But beware the danger found within books, for once you behold your true reflection can you ever look away?
In these pages prowl forgotten goddesses, shape-shifting hares, and merciless grandmothers.
For those who find solace in dark folklore and the restless tug of the seasons.
Fireside Magic is the sequel to the collection of stories set in the uncanny, shadow Scotland first introduced in Fireside Fairy Tales.
