The Hollow Witch

'Beautiful and macabre…
a darkly spellbinding tale'

Can love conquer the dead, in The Hollow Witch, a YA sapphic romantasy filled with love, friendship, action, betrayal, magic, disability and the deadly cadaveri?

When child soldier Silvie loses her magic and part of her hearing, her life as she knew it is over.

Sent to the canal city of Arteria to be an alchemist’s apprentice, she is forced to begin again.

Azura, the alchemist’s daughter, lives among Arteria’s wealthiest and most comfortable. She and Silvie couldn’t be more different, each trapped by the circumstances of their birth, yet the two are drawn to one another.

But Arteria is plagued by the high cost of its magic use: the deadly cadaveri – walking corpses that prey on the living.

As Silvie and Azura navigate this world – in the company of the little queen, Lena, and her faithful bodyguard Myles – terrible truths about the kingdom and its magic are revealed.

When the city comes under unprecedented threat, can Silvie and Azura save it? Do they even want to, in Mary Borsellino's The Hollow Witch?
