• Long Listed for the 2018 Wattys • A Wattpad Featured Story • Top 30 in the first ever Historical Awards [ A "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" RETELLING ] GENRE: historical fiction London, 1884 "Sometimes, even messiahs can't bring back the dead." Instead of earning the reputation of a modest doctor, Matthew Knightley seems to be earning one of a raven chasing rebel amongst his peers. Taking a side turn from the family business and fighting a cold war with your father doesn't help either. Still, he does not let such inconvenices steer his ship into the wrong direction. Though, the raven Matthew keeps seeing leads him again and again to a woman with more half-truths than lies. She may not say so herself, but Mathilda Penrose may be one of those secrets that Matthew never bargained for. Hints and glimpses of a carefully structured past follow him. They all point to a past that the newer generation of the Knightleys and Penroses barely know of. Instead of abolishing that cold war with his father, Matthew finds the very base of his own Eden shattering into a thousand rays of scorching light. || Cover by @elzarion || | #33 in Historical Fiction on 26-8-18 | || UPDATED WEEKLY ||

2018 • [ A CROOKED TALE, a phantom's whisper, watch it burn, feel it blister. ] • A forest. A hut on chicken's feet. A fence of blood and bone. Before she was Baba Yaga, she was just a girl. Fuelled by spite and hatred for the world around her, Yaga Izeva has always had two faces. A beautiful one, the tailor's girl and a perfect wife, and the other, far darker than anyone could've ever imagined. Because things like that didn't happen in their village - until they did. With the blood of her village on her hands and nowhere to turn to, Yaga runs to the open arms of the forest, where the water runs black and the trees are haunted by ghosts of the past. Power is a pretty thing - before it consumes you. Go to sleep, children. And watch out for Baba Yaga.
