The Bloody Branch by Brigid Lowe features three powerful heroines—a queen, a sorceress, and a woman made of flowers—plotting revenge against the villain who wronged them. This gorgeously dark debut novel is inspired by Celtic Britain's first fantasy fiction.

Man is cruel, but the flowers will take their revenge.

Three great heroines—slave queen Goewin, the reclusive sorceress Arianrhod, and Blodeuwedd, a woman conjured from flowers—unite to avenge themselves against the most dangerous man in ancient legend.

Gwydion is a powerful sorcerer, whose ambition and cruelty wreak havoc across the kingdom. When at last the earth itself is put at stake, Goewin, Arianrhod, and Blodeuwedd each unleash their uncanny powers to challenge him.

In this vital and visceral novel, Brigid Lowe casts ancient light on desire, sex, and our relationship with nature to bring these Celtic heroines to explosive, sensuous, blossoming new life.

About the Author

Brigid Lowe grew up in a remote Welsh-speaking community on Ynys M n, with her younger sister and Irish immigrant parents. She now lives with her children in that part of Scotland known as Yr Hen Ogledd - The Old North - formerly joined with Wales in one Cumbric nation. She studied literature at Bangor, completed a doctorate at Oxford, and went on to teach and research at Sheffield and Cambridge Universities, publishing a book and many essays on the art of fiction. Brigid traces her descent from travellers, circus performers, mill workers and gallowglass warriors. She takes photographs of flowers, forages her food, clambers pinnacles, and swims in ice and caves and bottomless pools.
