Praise for A Spell for Drowning: “Ferrier crafts a thrilling yarn as dark, rich, and bloody as folk stories that have lasted centuries in the telling . . . A fairy tale with teeth.” —Publishers Weekly “In the alluring fantasy novel A Spell for Drowning, a girl comes of age, and into her wisdom, in a world where folklore and myths still rule.” —Foreword Reviews “A truly immersive read steeped in the living landscape of earth and sea. A Spell for Drowning is folkloric fantasy as it should be―pernicious, wild and beholden to no-one. A story of outcast women, defiance and loss, and sisterhood and growth, it lingered long after the final pages.” ―Eliza Chan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Fathomfolk “This is a tale I crave to hear around a campfire. A Spell for Drowning is an utterly mesmerizing Gothic fairytale and a love letter to all the women who are marked as witches simply for being different. Wild, darkly woven, and overflowing with courage, this novel is an enchantment you cannot miss.” ―Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamb “Thrilling and bewitching from the very first deliciously crafted paragraph. This story of sisterhood, magic, folklore and tradition sets Rebecca Ferrier up as a first-rate writer of this age.” ―Chịkọdịlị Emelụmadụ, award-winning author of Dazzling “A fable of family ties and belonging, of outcasts and alchemy. Spellbinding and striking, A Spell for Drowning is a siren song of folklore and mystery, of Cornwall calling you home.” ―Victoria Hawthorne, author of The Darkest Night
