Beneath Shivering Skies: A Modern Greek Folktale - Paperback

by Georgina Jeffery (Author)

A dark fairy tale in a modern Greek setting. When the adopted daughter of a harpy falls in love with a human girl, she must risk everything to protect the two worlds she tiptoes between.

Living in the wild with her monstrous mother, Iphis has always known that survival comes hand in hand with loneliness. But as she develops feelings for beautiful Yolanthe, a girl in the nearby town, her heart yearns for a different kind of future. When Iphis is attacked by a group of enraged harpies hell-bent on tearing her apart from her mother, she must choose whether to run or stand with Yolanthe in a fight for life, love, and a future where she can finally spread her wings.

This is a standalone novelette of about 11,500 words, and is the fifth instalment in the Dark Folklore series.
