Widdershins Novel e-book

Allyson Shaw's fantasy novel Widdershins travels from the Northern Isles to Edina in a rollicking, lyrical fairy tale. Kara's story is vibrant retelling of the selkie myth and an epic tale of connected lives spanning a thousand years. She time-slips through myth and folklore to a post-apocalyptic future and back again, fleeing hunters and collectors as she travels to the end of time in search of her lost skin.

"A bold and absorbing exploration of how a soul - and its story - can survive its tellings and retellings. Over a thousand years and through shifting landscapes, Kára finds and forgets herself in an epic quest for connection and belonging. An intricate fantasy with folkloric roots, Shaw guides us through distant pasts, terrifying futures and a retelling of the selkie myth with a sure hand." —Lynsey May, author of Weak Teeth

It’s so empowering and beautiful. I really want more people to read it. —Bron, @brons.books

…so well written, it actually feels like it’s been written by a genius. It’s really beautiful and almost Shakespearean. —James, Creepy Corner Books on booktok

This book speaks to my soul…it pulled me in. I couldn’t stop reading once I got into it…witchy and strange and rooted in myth…The weird girl vibe had me sold…I already know I’ll be rereading it.
