‘A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic, and a fantastic cat!’ – Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop

Featuring custom endpapers illustrated by the author and a foil stamp on the board !

Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save – seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow – but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . .

‘A wonderfully offbeat fantasy . . . as delightful as it is impressive’ – Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries

Hemlock & Silver was a No. 6 Sunday Times bestseller the w/e 23rd August.

A darkly enchanting tale of poison and power. <b>Beautifully crafted and utterly spellbinding</b> (Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night)

<b>An eerie, immersive dream of a dark fairy tale</b>, both gorgeous and lethal (Stephanie Burgis, author of Wooing the Witch Queen )

<b>This is T. Kingfisher at her finest.</b> Continuing in <b>her tradition of horror-tinged, fairytale-inspired storytelling</b>, Kingfisher pairs a wonderfully offbeat fantasy narrative with her signature wit, which compares favourably with the likes of Terry Pratchett. It&#39;s impossible not to root for our clever, unapologetically bumbling protagonist, Healer Anja.<i> Hemlock &amp; Silver</i> is <b>as delightful as it is impressive</b> (Heather Fawcett, New York Times bestselling author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies)

Kingfisher never fails to <b>dazzle</b> (Peter S. Beagle, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning author of The Last Unicorn)

Kingfisher&rsquo;s fairyland is <b>full of teeth, wonder and horror</b>; what&rsquo;s dark is very dark, but what&rsquo;s good will give you warmth. By the last page, my heart was mended (NPR)

T. Kingfisher&rsquo;s delicate, bittersweet style of fantasy is like nothing else on shelves at the moment . . . <b>a perfect blend of sharp-edged humour and horror-tinged heart</b> (Paste)

<b>A hero&#39;s journey that involves a little romance</b>, a medium amount of vomit . . . a great place to start if you are new to her work

A damned brilliant book steeped in Kingfisher&rsquo;s trademark<b> dark humour and wit that had me intoxicated from start to finish . . . uniquely refreshing and exciting.</b>
