A standalone fantasy rooted in traditional Welsh folklore, The Wild Huntress slips the reader into the edges of the uncanny world of the Fae before plunging them deep into the dark adventure of the Wild Hunt.
Where The Drowned Woods (same world, different standalone tale, also recommended) gave us morally gray, complicated magic users, thieves, rulers, tricksters, and an adorable corgi, this one gives us morally gray, complicated magic users, thieves, rulers, tricksters, and a cat who may be more than it seems.
For an extra treat, and to hear the beautiful Welsh pronunciations, check out the audiobook narrated by Moira Quick.
