Perfect for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale and Uprooted, this beautifully dark folk fantasy follows a young witch as she answers the call of her ancestors beneath the looming threat of witch hunts in a mythic world of magic, mystery, and romance…

A witch. A tryst. A curse…

Beneath the murky waters of the lake, an ancient being slumbers, and Brygida is its servant. Kept sheltered in the woods by her mothers from the nearby village, Brygida has never had so much as a friend—until the day she meets a charming stranger painting by the lake. He invites her to the village’s harvest feast, but her taste of the forbidden ends with a murder.Called into service for the first time, Brygida must take up her ancestral duty as Reaper of Death and solve the murder within three days. If she brings the murderer to the lake on the third day, the being she serves will be sated. If she fails, Brygida herself will be drawn beneath the murky waters, and the village massacred. There’s only one problem: the main suspect is her charming painter, Kaspian.As Brygida investigates, the dangers are many and answers few. The village and her family stand against her, and with time running short, the lake demands a price. Brygida believes Kaspian is innocent, but can she stake her life on it, when failure means condemning the rest of the village, and being dragged into the deep...?Find out what lurks beneath the lake in FEAST OF THE MOTHER, the first volume of a trilogy inspired by Polish folklore and Slavic mythology, perfect for fantasy fans who enjoy a detailed dark fantasy world, tales of powerful women, ancient gods and demons, and a slow-burn sweet romance.Pick up Feast of the Mother to begin the beautifully haunting adventure today!

Praise for the Witch of the Lake Trilogy
PRAISE FOR THE WITCH OF THE LAKE TRILOGY "Steeped in rich and dark folklore, Feast of the Mother is young-adult fantasy at its best. Honfleur and Andrews take witches, murder, and romance, twist and weave them together with an imaginative and mysterious backdrop of medieval grievances. The result is a page-turning tale that will keep you riveted from the first page until the very last." RAYE WAGNER, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MAGI RISING SERIES "If you love Naomi Novik's books, Feast of the Mother is the dark, romantic story you've been waiting for! The mythos is vibrant and multi-layered. This fantasy satisfied to the fullest degree!" ALISHA KLAPHEKE, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE UNCOMMON WORLD SERIES “A mythic delight and new release you must read… For those who love stories with well-woven mythologies, this is a wonderful tale. It draws from Polish mythology, and features a well-crafted Eastern European world, complete with a foreboding forest, Mrok witches, and strange denizens of the deep which demand justice for murdered women.” J.M. BUTLER, AUTHOR OF THE TUE-RAH CHRONICLES "Feast of the Mother is a delightfully magical old-world fantasy. With a heroine who is both grave and valiant, a world full of mystery and haunting magic, and a mystery that will keep you riveted, you won’t be able to put down this delightful tale. Recommended for fans of An Enchantment of Ravens. Don’t miss this triumphant first-in-series by authors Miranda Honfleur and Nicolette Andrews." SARAH K. L. WILSON, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DRAGON SCHOOL SERIES "Completely unlike anything I expected or anything I’ve read before. Brygida is a witch who is only beginning to know what she’s capable of and what her duties are. She’s a fantastic character, strong in her convictions and loyal in her beliefs. I can’t help but root for someone like that. And this world! It’s so intriguing and fun that I flew through the pages, not wanting to stop. Utterly fascinating! With a slow burn romance, well-developed world, and beautiful prose, this is a story that should not be missed." M. LYNN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE FANTASY AND FAIRYTALES SERIES
