A gifted healer unravels the mysteries of a cursed estateâÂÂand its enigmatic ownerâÂÂin a witchy retelling of Jane Eyre.
Salt and broom, make this room
Safe and tight, against the night.
Trunks packed with potions and cures, Jane Aire sets out on a crisp, clear morning in October to face the greatest challenge of her sheltered girlsâÂÂ-school existence. A shadow lies over Thornfield Hall and its reclusive master, Edward Rochester. And heâÂÂs hired her only as a last resort.
Jane stumbles again and again as she tries to establish a rapport with her prickly new employer, but he becomes the least of her worries as a mysterious force seems to work against her. The threats mount around both Jane and RochesterâÂÂwhoâÂÂs becoming more intriguing and appealing to her by the day. Jane begins to fear her herb healing and protective charms may not be enough to save the man sheâÂÂs growing to love from a threat darker and more dangerous than either of them imagined.
âÂÂFisherâÂÂs loose retelling brings a gothic fairy tale vibe to the classic and adds some twists that will keep even those familiar with the original guessing.â âÂÂPublishers Weekly
âÂÂA pleasant, atmospheric romp that fantasy or romance fans will enjoy. ThereâÂÂs no need to be familiar with BrontëâÂÂs novel to enjoy this one.â âÂÂLibrary Journal
âÂÂReaders of BrontëâÂÂs original will appreciate this character-driven, romance-filled mystery.â âÂÂBooklist
âÂÂThe plot moves well, basically following the Jane Eyre outline, but it adds some interesting and pleasant twists of its own.â âÂÂHistorical Novels Review
