In Conversation with Rafael Torrubia

Join Shona Kinsella & Rafael Torrubia on Tuesday 25th November at 7pm as they chat to Ann Landmann about their haunting, fantastical tales deeply rooted in Scottish folklore, Daughters of Nicnevin and The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver.

Daughters of Nicnevin by Shona Kinsella:

Mairead and Constance, two powerful witches, meet in the early days of the 1745 Jacobite uprising. While the men of the village are away fighting, the villagers face threats from both the Black Watch and raiders, and the women are confronted with their vulnerability. They enlist the help of Nicnevin, fae queen of witches, to bring men made of earth to life to help protect their village. But just who do they need protection from? And what will happen when the village men return?

The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver by Rafael Torrubia:

No one remembers the calamity that killed the gods and stole the names of their people. Now Shipwright and Shroudweaver are known only by their professions.
She's a master of magical shipbuilding. He's a maker of the gilded gods that fuel their sails, stitched from the souls of dead sailors.
When a chance to save their world calls the veterans back to shore, they decide they'll stop at nothing to vanquish the ultimate evil, embarking on a deadly race against time to beat the grief-wracked sorceress known as Crowkisser to the notorious mountain kingdom in the legend-infested north before she unleashes the ancient power entombed at its heart - the one waiting to finish what it started.

In Conversation with Sam K Horton - Waterstones Argyle Street

Join Shona Kinsella and Sam K. Horton in conversation as they launch their new books, both powerful stories of history and the supernatural.

Ragwort continues the story begun in Gorse, a tense historical folk-horror tinged tale of the fey, while Daughters of Nicnevin sees a very different kind of fae stalking its pages. Sam and Shona will be discussing the different ways they use history in their books, the inspirations for their different interpretations of the Fair Folk, and more, in conversation with Meg MacDonald, before signing copies of their books.
