... the reader is simply swept along.'
Cathy Galvin, poet and journalist, co-founder of The Sunday Times Short Story Award
Erronach is a spirited woman bound by shadows of a painful past she dares not speak aloud. As Viking ships are wrecked on her shore, her world is thrown into turmoil, and when her daughter's life is at stake, Erronach must confront terrifying forces-both human and supernatural-to protect her family.
The Viking leader is puzzled by Erronach's noble resolve hidden behind servant's garb, and the dark magic encircling the cliff-top cairn holds secrets that could bind their fates forever. In this collision of cultures and clashing wills, alliances are forged and shattered, love blooms amid danger, and trust becomes the rarest treasure of all.
With unflinching courage and raw emotion, Catherine Jansen-Ridings weaves a tale of terror, magic, and fierce love that sweeps readers into an unforgettable journey of survival and redemption.
Praised as a literary debut of enormous scale, thrilling, compulsive, with global appeal, The Shame Child will captivate anyone who cherishes stories of strength, heartbreak, and the extraordinary power of women battling to reclaim their lives and histories.
Prepare to be swept away by an unforgettable heroine and a world where the past never truly dies-and where love might be the fiercest battle of all.Also in
