?? It began with a bargain. It became a curse. And now, a daughter must carry it. Wiltshire, 1740s. In the quiet hedgerows of rural England, whispers travel faster than the wind. Elizabeth Seriven, a hedgewitch and mother, makes a desperate offering to the Old Gods-and in doing so, binds her bloodline to a curse that will echo for generations. When her daughter Rowen is taken in by strict guardians, she is taught obedience, silence, and the sharp bite of gossip. 
But beneath the surface, Rowen's wit and secret gift for tea-magic begin to bloom. As village suspicion deepens, she learns that survival is not only about keeping her head low-it is about keeping her magic hidden. The Hedgerow's Daughter weaves folklore, superstition, and the tangled lives of women into a haunting tale of resilience. At once historical fiction and gothic folklore, it asks: what does it cost to love, to heal, and to remember, when the world would rather you be silent?? For fans of The Familiars, The Mercies, and The Witch's Daughter.
