An evening with Emilia Hart & Beth Underdown at Waterstones Liverpool

Join us for an evening of witchcraft themed writing with the fantastic Emilia Hart and Beth Underdown. We'll be hearing all about their new books, Weyward and The Key in the Lock, and the evening will be in-conversation with Simon Savidge.

Weyward

A woman fleeing an abusive relationship heads for Weyward Cottage and makes a startling discovery about her ancestors in this bewitching debut perfect for fans of Bridget Collins.

They tried to cage us. But a Weyward woman belongs to the wild. We cannot be tamed.

Kate, 2019

Kate flees London – and her abusive partner – for Cumbria and Weyward Cottage, inherited from her great-aunt. There, a secret lurks in the bones of the house, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century.

Violet, 1942

Violet is more interested in collecting insects and climbing trees than in becoming a proper young lady. Until a chain of shocking events changes her life forever.

Altha, 1619

Altha is on trial for witchcraft, accused of killing a local man. Known for her uncanny connection with nature and animals, she is a threat that must be eliminated…

The Key in the Lock

Steeped in secrets, guilt and other ghosts of the past, The Key in the Lock is a mesmerising Gothic mystery revolving around a tragic fire in an old country house, perfect for fans of Daphne du Maurier and Elizabeth Macneal.

I still dream, every night, of Polneath on fire. Smoke unfurling out of an upper window and a hectic orange light cascading across the terrace.

By day, Ivy Boscawen mourns the loss of her son Tim in the Great War. But by night she mourns another boy - one whose death decades ago haunts her still.

For Ivy is sure that there is more to what happened all those years ago: the fire at the Great House, and the terrible events that came after. A truth she must uncover, if she is ever to be free.
