Books Included in This Collection:
A Sorceress Comes to Call
This brisk, stylish fantasy unfolds with a modern ease and a nod to classic fairy tale structure. Expect a clever blend of enchantment, sly humor, and stakes that feel intimate rather than epic. The pacing is crisp, the world-building inviting, and the heroine’s choices carry weight in a story that honors its magical premise while keeping the tone accessible and entertaining. It’s a perfect gateway title for readers new to Kingfisher’s signature voice or longtime fans seeking a fresh, playful thriller with witches, bargains, and a dash of romance.

A House with Good Bones
Dark, delicate, and distinctly Gothic, this novel centers on a setting that feels alive and a heroine who unpicks secrets with steady nerve. The house itself becomes a character—full of history, hidden rooms, and uncanny echoes—pulling the reader toward questions about family, legacy, and the price of curiosity. Kingfisher’s prose balances atmosphere with emotional clarity, allowing suspense to simmer while delivering moments of warmth and wit. Expect twists that feel earned, characters you root for, and a sense of wonder tempered by the reality of the stakes at hand.

Thornhedge
A fairy-tale-inflected Gothic, Thornhedge invites readers into a world where hedge mazes and towers hold long-held memories and secrets. The narrative voice is precise and lyrical, blending whimsy with darker undertones to create a compelling, cinematic mood. You’ll find a solitary heroine facing moral choices, clever world-building that rewards close attention, and a crescendo that feels both inevitable and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of short, immersive read that begs for a return visit to catch all the careful foreshadowing and the quiet, human moments that make Kingfisher’s fantasy resonate long after the final page.
