The Witch's Egg

It was a spiderweb moon and the imps did wonder: what dark delights wouldst the cat-witch conjure!

By the Sardine Queen, by salt and the devil, by blackwormy earth, and by the deep, dark sea, the cat-witch Urfi conjures an angel to love her. But angels aren't meant for love. Clutching the embryonic egg of her unborn children, Urfi flees from her partner's violence, enduring terrible trials to find a safe sanctuary in the Faery Forest.

As her children—Isobel, Batzel, and Mazel—grow, the horrors their mother endured return to haunt their lives. This time, the three sisters must unite to defeat the darkness for good. With secret magic, solemn bonds of friendship, and fierce sisterhood, they stand against the threat of angelic terror and insanity in this dark fairytale of motherhood and apocalyptic romance.

A gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a mother who would do anything to protect her daughters. A must-read for fans of Pan’s Labyrinth and the gothic whimsy of Edward Gorey!
