Praise for this book

"A very poignant story of female endurance and hidden power, humming with a sly, exhilarating magic." - Bridget Collins

"A spellbinding story about what may transpire when the natural world collides with a legacy of witchcraft." - Sarah Penner

"Scuttling with insects and dripping with dark magic, this book got its claws into me and simply refused to let go. An astonishingly accomplished debut, it is beguiling, absorbing and exquisitely rendered, with prose as finely-crafted as a dragonfly's wing. With Weyward, Emilia Hart bursts onto the literary scene with a howl of feminist rage." - Lizzie Pook
