Overview

"""A warm-hearted yet fierce fairy tale.""?H. G. Parry There is no magic on Prospect Hill-or anywhere else, for that matter. But just on the other side of the veil is the world of the Fae. Generations ago, the first farmers on Prospect Hill learned to bargain small trades to make their lives a little easier-a bit of glass to find something lost, a cup of milk for better layers in the chicken coop. Much of that old wisdom was lost as the riverboats gave way to the rail lines and the farmers took work at mills and factories. Alaine Fairborn's family, however, was always superstitious, and she still hums the rhymes to find a lost shoe and to ensure dry weather on her sister's wedding day. When Delphine confides her new husband is not the man she thought he was, Alaine will stop at nothing to help her sister escape him. Small bargains buy them time, but a major one is needed. Yet, the price for true freedom may be more than they're willing to pay. Praise for The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill: ""Brimming with folk magic and delightfully sinister hidden worlds. Truly enchanting.""?Leslye Penelope ""A beautifully written tale of feminine power, sisterly devotion, and magic as old as the hills themselves.""?Louisa Morgan For more from Rowenna Miller, check out: The Unraveled Kingdom Torn Fray Rule"

A mesmerising, knotty tale of sisterhood, woven with the dark enchantment of fae bargains and the hard bargains a woman must strike to make her way in the world. --Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle A richly woven and deftly atmospheric tapestry of family, sisterhood, motherhood, and women's ambition. The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill is brimming with folk magic and delightfully sinister hidden worlds. Truly enchanting. --Leslye Penelope, author of The Monsters We Defy From a whimsy of ribbon to a bit of bone and blood, two compelling sisters chafing at society's expectations take us down an ever-darkening path. A bold journey against restraints becomes frightening then ultimately thrilling, as we find the sisters' true power lies in their resolve to blaze a trail for women, undeterred by deceptive promises...from man or fairy! A powerful tale of finding sisterhood and self. --Willa Reece, author of Wildwood Whispers Beautifully observed, steeped in folklore and rich with historical detail, The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill weaves a warm-hearted yet fierce fairy tale around the bonds of sisterhood and the choices facing women in a changing world. A true delight. --H. G. Parry, author of the Shadow Histories series Previous praise for Rowenna Miller: A gorgeous weave of romantic fantasy and urgent politics. --Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives Miller places immigrant ambition and women's lives at the heart of her magical tale of politics and revolution. I was utterly enchanted by this unique, clever and subtly fierce fantasy. --Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne Miller deftly weaves a thrilling tale of revolution and turmoil in a complex fantasy world. --Cass Morris, author of From Unseen Fire Miller caps off the Unraveled Kingdom trilogy with a seamless blend of magic and heart, all under the cloud of war and revolution. Smart, thrilling, and full of charm, Rule is the perfect sendoff for the tale of Sophie Balstrade. --Mike Chen, author of Here and Now and Then A delight, woven through with rich detail. Magic, sewing, and an achingly good romance--what's not to love? A deeply satisfying read. I'm dying for the next one! --Alexandra Rowland, author of A Conspiracy of Truths One of the best novels I've read this year! Torn is masterfully written--full of fascinating politics and compelling characters in a vividly rendered, troubled city. Sophie is a believable, layered, and wonderful heroine; her journey from ordinary to extraordinary is a joy to read. I absolutely loved this book! ?Sarah Beth Durst ----
