Haunting Tale

​

"Labyrinth of Shadows: The Witch's Rebirth is a layered tale that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, dark fantasy, and stories of witches reclaiming their power. If you love novels like The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova or The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow, this book is worth diving into.

Riley delivers an intricate and haunting tale filled with mystery, magic, and the resilience of those history sought to erase."
