A spellbinding fantasy where the romance is as real as the magic - discover your next YA obsession with this love story to raise the dead...
At Demdike College of Witchcraft, Orlando is an outcast. Not just for being the only shapeshifter in a college of witches. Not just for being a really bad shapeshifter, with no control over their magic or when their body switches between male and female forms. But because their girlfriend Elizabeth died - and it was Lando's fault.
And then charming new boy Bastian arrives with a proposition: he knows a spell that can raise Elizabeth from the dead. It's dangerous, but Lando will try anything. But as Lando's attraction to Bastian grows, questions start to arise. Who is Bastian? What does he really want? And who will survive the resurrection spell?
"Wise, brilliantly written, and full of humour and heart - I loved it." Sophie Keetch, author of Morgan Is My Name
Emma Hinds is a queer writer living and working in Manchester who is passionate about writing queer fantasy that explores the depth of British magical folklore. She has a Masters degree in Theology and the Arts from the University of St Andrews and is the author of the well-known fan fiction series, The Heir to the House of Prince, which currently runs at over a million words and over a million hits. Her debut adult novel, The Knowing, is a gothic fantasy published by Bedford Square (January 2024). Witchlore is her first novel for YA readers.
Genuine and surprising. Hinds has created a witchy, magical fantasy that explores grief, self-love, gender expression, and societal expectations with nuance and care.
