A Wild Little Thing - by Tori Anne Martin

Book Synopsis

A feminist cozy romantasy retelling of the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, complete with a sapphic love story and a revenge tale, from USA Today bestselling author Tori Anne Martin, perfect for fans of The Spellshop.

Fifteen years ago, a little girl's father bartered her away to the old witch in the woods for some magic. Abandoned by her brother, Hans, who promised to keep her safe, Greta learns to embrace her new life as an apprentice to the witch, and starts a new life as Miria.

Two years ago, she rescued a young woman who was lost in those woods, and she fell in love.

Just now, she learned that woman was engaged--against her will--to a man who once was complicit in trading his little sister, who'd used the magic her life had bought to give her former family wealth and power beyond measure, and then forgot all about her.

Soon, the young witch will leave the woods. Stop the wedding. Save the woman she loves. Get revenge.

But beyond the woods, nothing is ever that simple.

Review Quotes

Praise for Witch of the Shadow Wood:
"Witch of the Shadow Wood is everything I look forward to in a book by Tori Anne Martin: appealing and full of heart, featuring characters you can really believe in. I absolutely loved her take on the Hansel and Gretel fairytale and the feminist vitality that shone through the book. With found family, a lovely sapphic romance, and fascinating magic, this cozy romantasy is a rich offering, and I'm excited for anyone who picks it up to read."
--India Holton, USA Today bestselling author

"A familiar fairytale made fresh and fierce! Witch of the Shadow Wood thankfully has no patience for brave knights saving helpless princesses from evil witches. In this enchanting romantasy, the witch and princess can save themselves, thank you very much. Martin has crafted a magical, melancholic story dripping with atmosphere - and with something real to say about women and their strength in a world that doesn't always welcome it."
--Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
