The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater
5.0
A beautifully twisted Victorian tale, the Witchwood Knot takes us on a dark and dangerous adventure with a governess, Winnie. She's been hired to protect Robert, a petulant and disobedient child, and is determined to rescue him when he is stolen by the faeries that plague the Witchwood Manor.
Not knowing who to trust, Winnie carefully makes allies and secures her safety through cunning and cleverness, but she soon learns that it may not be enough. She will need to both keep herself safe. And rescue Robert if she is to accomplish her goals.
As she searches desperately to recover her charge, she begins to trust a dangerous creature, leaning on him in times of desperation and vulnerability. They begin to heal parts of one another as they fight to reclaim control over their own lives.
Together, will they defeat the Witchwood monster? Or will they become a part of it instead?
