The Storyteller's Daughter
Cassie Archdale has known only suffering, spending her entire life running from the stories created to destroy her.
At seventeen, in the wake of an affair gone deathly wrong, her mother Morgana's suicide, and her father's grandiose, self-serving agenda, Cassie finds what she believes to be a way out. She builds herself a new life, holding it together with careful lies, an erased past, and sheer will to survive.
Then she falls victim to a gruesome, symbolic attack at the hands of someone she believed would protect her.
On the run again, Cassie finds herself back where she began: her mysterious hometown of Stonegate, Essex, living in the shadows as she navigates what feels like the unraveling of her own sanity. When a dangerous and powerful figure from her past reappears, everything she has built is threatened.
Caught in an escalating game of cat and mouse, Cassie must decide whether survival means keeping her enemies close. Turning inward and hiding in plain sight, she searches for answers about her purpose, her past, and the path that might finally lead to freedom. Along the way, she confronts the remnants of her mother's final act for her-and a revelation that overturns everything Cassie has ever believed.
Pulled into a hidden family legacy forged by the Indigo Coven of witch Practitioners whose blood runs through her veins, Cassie must uncover the truth behind her existence before the past destroys any chance she has at life, freedom, or safety.
Set in an alternate American South in the 1980s and told as a modern adult fairy tale, The Storyteller's Daughter is a dark, atmospheric work of magical realism exploring family, trauma, identity, survival, and the dangerous power of the stories we inherit.
