Critics Review
Lushly written with a fascinating premise and an enthralling heroine, The Witch’s Daughter will linger long in memory after the last page has been savored. Highly recommended. - Sara Poole, author of The Borgia Betrayal
A lyrical and spell-binding time travel fantasy featuring an immortal witch who must summon all her powers to defeat the evil hounding her through the centuries. - Mary Sharratt, author of Daughters of the Witching HillWith her first novel, author Paula Brackston conjures up a riveting tale of sorcery and time travel. By mixing feminine heroism with masculine might, Brackston successfully captivates readers with characters Bess, an immortal witch, and sinister dark lord, Gideon. It’s almost impossible not to root for the underdog in this magical twist on the classic David vs. Goliath tale. Plus, the skill with which Brackston weaves her characters through time makes this book a fascinating take on global history. - Marie ClaireBrackston’s first novel offers well-crafted characters in an absorbing plot and an altogether delicious blend of historical fiction and fantasy. - BooklistThis pleasantly romantic historical fantasy debut flips lightly between the past experiences of ageless witch Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith and her present-day life in Matravers, England… Bess’s adventures are fascinating. - Publishers WeeklyStretching her tale over several centuries, British-based Brackston brings energy as well as commercial savvy to her saga of innocence and the dark arts…. History, time travel and fantasy combine in a solidly readable entertainment. - KirkusThe Winter Witch is one of the most magical and compelling novels I’ve ever read. A tender and exquisitely written tale, with a heroine who continues to haunt your dreams long after you close the book. - Karen MaitlandAbout The Author
Paula Brackston
