Windwitch cover

This is the sequel to the astonishing Truthwitch, which Robin Hobb enthused 'will delight you'. The adventure continues in Windwitch ...

This follows the magical Truthwitch, which is ‘like a cake stuffed full of your favourite fantasy treats’ according to Robin Hobb. In Windwitch, Safi and Iseult battle to retain their freedom – as war threatens the Witchlands.

Filled with magic, heart-wrenching romance and high-stakes adventure, Windwitch is the second fantasy novel in the Witchlands series, and is the action-packed sequel to Truthwitch.

Sometimes our enemies become our only allies . . .


The Windwitch Prince Merik is presumed dead after a lethal explosion. However, he's scarred but alive. Determined to expose his sister's treachery, he haunts the streets of the royal capital as the Fury, a mysterious vigilante fighting for the weak.

Meanwhile, Iseult is cornered by the Bloodwitch Aeduan. She proposes a deal: she’ll return what was stolen from him if he locates Safi, the Truthwitch. Yet unknown to Iseult, there’s a bounty on her head – and Aeduan intends to claim it.

Meanwhile, Safi and the Marstoki Empress become entangled with ruthless brigands after surviving a shipwreck. And their captors plan to unleash a brutal war upon the Witchlands . . .
