A lush fantasy retelling of Hansel and Gretel set in
seventeenth-century Germany, perfect for fans of Brigid Kemmerer,
Naomi Novik and Marissa Meyer. Almost twenty years have passed
since Greta and her brother Hans escaped the old woman's cottage in
the Black Forest, but there was no living happily ever after for
them. The war has taken its toll on these lands, husbands and sons
lost, a country impoverished. When the local Baron dies, his cruel,
young and beautiful wife raises taxes and a Blood Tithe, ensuring
that those who can't pay off their debts, pay through servitude.
Wolves are gathering around the village and a group of mercenaries
stalk the streets. A black bear has been sighted in the forest, but
an encounter with it leaves Greta puzzled by its gentle and
peaceful demeanour. Then there are the deaths; bodies have been
found in the woods, their blood taken, their hearts removed. As the
villagers become more desperate, whispers of witchcraft abound.
With Hans' gambling debts forcing him to take the Blood Tithe, only
the addictively-delicious gingerbread Greta makes - created with
the help of a book stolen when they escaped their childhood captor
- can offer a way out. But there's a price to pay for using this
blood skill, Tattermagic...and it could cost Greta everything,
unless she can find another way to beat the horrors from her past
and find a new path through the darkness... Set in the Black Forest
of Wurttemberg during the mid-17th Century, After the Forest is a
stunning meld of love-story, fairy-tale, magic and history which is
sure to appeal to fans of Naomi Novik, Rena Rossner and Kate
Forsyth.
