Waiting on Wednesday (24): Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom

Waiting on Wednesday's is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. *It appears that Breaking the Spine hasn't been active since 2016, but I still want to credit them as the creators.

For this week's waiting on Wednesday I'm spotlighting Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom.

Publication date: September 14, 2021

Goodreads synopsis

A spirited young Englishwoman, Abitha, arrives at a Puritan colony betrothed to a stranger – only to become quickly widowed when her husband dies under mysterious circumstances. All alone in this pious and patriarchal society, Abitha fights for what little freedom she can grasp onto, while trying to stay true to herself and her past.

Enter Slewfoot, a powerful spirit of antiquity newly woken ... and trying to find his own role in the world. Healer or destroyer? Protector or predator? But as the shadows walk and villagers start dying, a new rumor is whispered: Witch.

Both Abitha and Slewfoot must swiftly decide who they are, and what they must do to survive in a world intent on hanging any who meddle in the dark arts.

Another book that has already been released as my spotlight for this week. This book has been on my TBR forever, and I'm hoping that this year is the year that I finally get my hands on it. Hopefully just in time for spooky season too!
