Krátky popis
A lush fantasy retelling of Hansel and Gretel set in
seventeenth-century Germany, perfect for fans of Brigid Kemmerer,
Naomi Novik and Marissa Meyer. Almost twenty years have passed
since Greta and her brother Hans escaped the old woman’s cottage
in the Black Forest, but there was no living happily ever after for
them. The war has taken its toll on these lands, husbands and sons
lost, a country impoverished.When the local Baron dies, his cruel,
young and beautiful wife raises taxes and a Blood Tithe, ensuring
that those who can’t pay off their debts, pay through servitude.
Wolves are gathering around the village and a group of mercenaries
stalk the streets. A black bear has been sighted in the forest, but
an encounter with it leaves Greta puzzled by its gentle and
peaceful demeanour.Then there are the deaths, bodies have been
found in the woods, their blood taken, their hearts removed. As the
villagers become more desperate, whispers of witchcraft abound.
With Hans’ gambling debts forcing him to take the Blood Tithe,
only the addictively-delicious gingerbread Greta makes - created
with the help of a book stolen when they escaped their childhood
captor – can offer a way out.But there’s a price to pay for
using this blood skill, Tattermagic…and it could cost Greta
everything, unless she can find another way to beat the horrors
from her past and find a new path through the darkness…Set in the
Black Forest of Wurttemberg during the mid-17th
Century,Â&,nbsp,After the ForestÂ&,nbsp,is a stunning meld
of love-story, fairy-tale, magic and history which is sure to
appeal to fans of Naomi Novik, Rena Rossner and Kate Forsyth.
