Salt on the Midnight Fire, The Fallow Sisters

“The coolest sisters in contemporary fantasy” get caught up in an otherworldly battle on the Cornish coast in this thrilling series finale (Locus).

The Fallow Sisters are used to straddling the line between their ordinary lives and the magical realms where history and fairytales spin new realities. But now they face new dangers as they leave the family home in Somerset for the rugged coastline of Cornwall. Their summer holiday is cut short when Bee, Stella, Serena, and Luna find themselves embroiled in a deadly struggle between the mystical Wild Hunt and the pirates of Cornwall’s past.

Meanwhile, their mother, Alys, claims amnesia after being thrown from a horse; the sinister Morlaker chills them to the bone with his very presence; a mysterious woman bears an uncanny resemblance to their deceased nemesis, Miranda; and the Good Queen Bess is sure to be involved somehow. It’s more than enough magic and mayhem to navigate on top of a new baby, extended family, and avoiding certain topics—like Brexit.
