Up in the house that sits on the hill, a strange spell is brewing…
To Meridia, growing up with her father Gabriel, who vanishes daily in clouds of mist, and her bewitching mother Ravenna, the outside world is a refuge. So when as a young woman her true love Daniel offers her marriage, it seems an escape to a more straightforward existence.
Yet behind the welcoming facade of her new home lies a life of drudgery and a story even stranger than that she left behind. Aged retainers…

Critics Review
‘This debut demands you enter a place full of spirits, ghosts, demons and clairvoyants, where spells and witchcraft prevail.’
It’s rare to read a work of fiction that is so uniquely intoxicating, it becomes necessary to put life on hold while you let it work its magic. What makes Setiawan’s achievement even more wonderful is that this is his debut novel…This is a bewitching, achingly romantic fairy tale and a truly epic undertaking - one that addresses some of lifes most universal themes of love, loyalty and betrayal - SHE Magazine
This debut demands you enter a place full of spirits, ghosts, demons and clairvoyants, where spells and witchcraft prevail. - Glamour Magazine A wildly imaginative beauty also marks Setiawan out as one to watch. - MetroA beautiful and sweeping modern fable of two families enmeshed in jealousy, desire and bitterness, the depth of passon and the pain of loss. Delightfully written and compelling, it’s terrific - one to be hand sold. - The BooksellerErick Setiawan
