Praise for Witch of the Shadow Wood:
“Witch of the Shadow Wood is everything I look forward to in a book by Tori Anne Martin: appealing and full of heart, featuring characters you can really believe in. I absolutely loved her take on the Hansel and Gretel fairytale and the feminist vitality that shone through the book. With found family, a lovely sapphic romance, and fascinating magic, this cozy romantasy is a rich offering, and I’m excited for anyone who picks it up to read.”
—India Holton, USA Today bestselling author
“A familiar fairytale made fresh and fierce! Witch of the Shadow Wood thankfully has no patience for brave knights saving helpless princesses from evil witches. In this enchanting romantasy, the witch and princess can save themselves, thank you very much. Martin has crafted a magical, melancholic story dripping with atmosphere – and with something real to say about women and their strength in a world that doesn’t always welcome it.”
—Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
“Lush and imaginative, Tori Anne Martin’s Witch of the Shadow Wood is the Hansel and Gretel retelling I didn’t even know I needed. This version is a story about found family, finding yourself, and feminine rage, all with a swoony sapphic romance at the center. I got lost in the world of Witch of the Shadow Wood and I didn’t even care; I could’ve stayed there forever. Such a creative, immersive, heartfelt book!”
—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped
“A dazzling fairy tale that insightfully explores the roles women are often forced to play and the ones they choose for themselves. Martin’s gorgeous prose weaves a spell on the reader, transporting them to a world brimming with quiet beauty, wondrous magic, and heady romance. This is a story about the power of love and community, the quest for freedom from patriarchal oppression, and the resilience of the human heart. I loved every word!”
