We are so unbelievably thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the one and only JUNO DAWSON who is coming to Sheffield to talk to us about her new book QUEEN B.
Get ready for some glorious Coven chat.
Juno will be in conversation with the wonderful Jake Hall, about witchiness, queering history, and telling a really good story.
About Queen B:
The next enchanting instalment of the sensational #1 SUNDAY TIMES bestselling HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL COVEN fantasy series takes us back to the reign of Henry VIII and the origins of Her Majesty's Royal Coven under the beautiful, the bewitching, Anne Boleyn.
BOW DOWN WITCHES
It's 1536 and the Queen has been beheaded.
Lady Grace Fairfax, witch, knows that something foul is at play - that someone had betrayed Anne Boleyn and her coven. Wild with the loss of their leader - and her lover, a secret that if spilled could spell Grace's own end - she will do anything in her power to track down the traitor. But there's more at stake than revenge: it was one of their own, a witch, that betrayed them, and Grace isn't the only one looking for her. King Henry VIII has sent witchfinders after them, and they're organized like they've never been before under his new advisor, the impassioned Sir Ambrose Fulke, a cold man blinded by his faith. His cruel reign could mean the end of witchkind itself. If Grace wants to find her revenge and live, she will have to do more than disappear.
She will have to be reborn.
In this gripping, propulsive, sultry novella, Juno Dawson takes us back to the bloody beginnings of Her Majesty's Royal Coven to show us the strength, steel and sacrifice it takes to make a sisterhood. With beautiful illustrations from Emma Vieceli throughout.
