A spine-chilling companion to Long Lankin, here is the story of a wronged witch’s revenge, spanning generations and crossing the shadowy line between life and death.
In 1567, baby Aphra is found among the reeds and rushes by two outcast witches. Even as an infant, her gifts in the dark craft are clear. But when her guardians succumb to an angry mob, Aphra is left to fend for herself. She is shunned and feared by all but one man, the leper known as Long Lankin. Hounded and ostracized, the two find solace only in each other, but even this respite is doomed, and Aphra’s bitterness poisons her entire being. Afflicted with leprosy, tortured and about to be burned as a witch, she manages one final enchantment—a curse on her tormentor’s heirs. Now, in 1962, Cora and Mimi, the last of a cursed line, are trapped in an ancient home on a crumbling estate in deepest winter, menaced by a spirit bent on revenge. Are their lives and souls forfeit forever?
You guys remember this??
Long Lankin (Long Lankin #1) by Lindsey Barraclough {Purchase – My Review}
If not, fix that. If you do, how exciting right?!?! I’ve been stalking watching this authors Goodreads page since I finished Long Lankin hoping and wishing for more books from her. And not only is it more but it’s a companion novel too. Cannot wait.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me a link to your post and I’ll be sure to stop by!

I have never read Long Lankin, although I have heard of it. Great pick this week! I’ll have to add both books to the list. I love witch stories:-)

I’ve never read Long Lankin but I love the historical-y, paranormal-y feel these books inspire. I’ll have to look into the series, thanks for sharing:)
