'A masterpiece... an intricate, otherworldly, complex and dramatic novel that held me spellbound.' Barbara Erskine, Sunday Times Bestselling Author

Three figures loom from the gathering dark of Britain's oldest story: a queen risen from slavery, a sorceress of the moon, and flowers imprisoned in woman's form.

Their fates are bound together by the cruelty of a magician whose hungers scar the land.

The Bloody Branch retells their story from the inside, revealing an epic not of men’s wars and conquests but of women’s pain and ecstasy, birth and transformation — flesh, flower and blood held in animation by the eerie power of the land. Women suffer alone, but fight back together.

Brigid Lowe’s dark, sensuous and unsettling debut casts ancient light on desire, sex and our relationship with nature, as these original heroines blossom into fierce new life.

'Rich with passion and relevance for our modern world... Stunning! Anya Bergman, author of The Witches of Vardo

‘A rich, visceral fever dream’ Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong

'I adored everything about The Bloody Branch... this haunting, sensual debut had me holding my breath, firmly under its spell.' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body

Brigid Lowe grew up in a remote Welsh-speaking community on Ynys Môn, 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.
