Mina offers herself up as the Witch's latest companion - yet the fate that awaits her is stranger and more
wondrous than she can imagine...
Blumwald is a town overshadowed by an ancient curse: in a sinister castle in the depths of the wild wood lives a monstrous Witch.
Once a generation, she comes to claim a companion to return with her – never to be seen again. Now that time is drawing near
once more...
Mina, daughter of the duke, is grieving and lonely. She has lost all hope of any future for herself in Blumwald. So when the Witch
demands her next companion, Mina offers herself up – though she has no idea what fate awaits her. Stranded with her darkly
alluring captor, the mystery of what happened to the previous companions draws Mina into the heart of a terrifying secret that could
save her life, or end it.


Both classic and novel, melancholy and tenderly wrought, Bitterthorn crackles with passion and warmth like a fire on a long winter night. With achingly atmospheric prose, Dunn has crafted characters I would die for and a love story as powerful and enduring as a fairytale. A must-read for fans of Gothic romance.
