Angela Slatter Knihy

Před dávnými časy rodina Miren O’Malleyové prosperovala díky dohodě uzavřené s mořskými lidmi: ochrana jejich lodí výměnou za jedno dítě z každé generace. Rodina však mnoho let nebyla schopna svou část dohody dodržet a postupně upadala. Mirenina babička je pevně rozhodnutá slávu rodiny obnovit i za cenu Mireniny svobody. Okouzlující příběh o temných rodinných tajemstvích, magii a čarodějnicích, o mýtických a mořských bytostech, o silných ženách a o mužích, kteří se je snaží ovládnout.

Asher Toddová přichází do záhadné Morwoodovy rodiny jako guvernantka jejich dětí, s matnou představou o tom, co práce vychovatelky obnáší. Zato se výtečně vyzná v mnoha jiných oborech, zejména v botanice a roli bylin v magii a při léčení. Její tajemství jsou temná a děsivá – přesně taková, jaká zámeček Morwoodových vyloženě přitahuje. Asher jejich rodu chystá strašlivou pomstu. Když si však oblíbí své malé svěřence i lidi z blízkého Tarnu, začne pochybovat, jestli ten plán dokáže dotáhnout do konce, a zvažuje, kdo tím utrpí nejvíce. Krotit duchy z vlastní minulosti je však stále těžší, a tak si Asher časem uvědomí, že nemá na výběr.

Mistress Gideon is a witch. The locals of Edda's Meadow, if they suspect it of her, say nary a word-Gideon has been good to them, and it's always better to keep on her good side. Just in case. When a foolish young shapeshifter goes against the wishes of her pack, and gets herself very publicly caught, the authorities find it impossible to deny the existence of the supernatural in their midst any longer; Gideon and her like are captured, bound for torture and a fiery end. Should Gideon give up her sisters in return for a quick death? Or can she turn the situation to her advantage? PRAISE FOR OF SORROW AND SUCH "Of Sorrow and Such takes you to dark, unsettling places. Angela Slatter's magic is earthy, bodily and beleaguered; in the hands of tough, clever Patience Gideon it's a powerful instrument for wresting justice from a hostile world. A riveting read." — Margo Lanagan, World Fantasy Award winning author of Black Juice and Sea-Hearts
