Gutterwitch

'Lyrical, dreamlike and enchanting' Imani Erriu, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Heavenly Bodies

Scullery maid Joan has always known her place. Bound in service to a powerful witching house, she is maid and companion to Belinda, their treasured heir. But when she stumbles upon a fallen star and makes an impossible wish, she becomes a most fearful and forbidden thing: a witch with wild magic.

For years, Joan hides her power, but when she and Belinda are invited to study at an elite university, she is swept into a world of ancient academia, ruthless politics, and powerful magic. While Joan is shunned for her lack of lineage, her magic flourishes and she finds solace in her mentor Silas and fellow outcast Caspar, the bastard son of a faerie queen.

As Joan’s powers grow, she’s thrust into a web of danger and secrets that threatens the fragile peace between witches and fae. With her heart and loyalties divided, Joan is at the front lines of a new war that will shape her destiny and the fate of witchkind forever.

For fans of Uprooted and Wicked, comes the first in a sweeping, romantic fantasy duology about wild magic and a young woman caught between the worlds of the witches and the fae.
