Immerse yourself in the dark and twisted world of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl with "A Sorceress Comes To Call." This hardback edition features a captivating retelling, filled with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic. Get lost in a tale of intrigue and danger, perfect for fans of fantasy and the macabre. 

Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn't have any doors between rooms-there are no secrets in this house!-Cordelia isn't allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him.

But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't force their daughters to be silent and motionless-obedient-for hours or days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.

After a suspicious death in their small town, Cordelia's mother insists they leave in the middle of the night, riding away together on Falada's back, leaving behind all Cordelia has ever known. They arrive at the remote country manor of a wealthy older man, the Squire, and his unwed sister, Hester. Cordelia's mother intends to lure the Squire into marriage. Cordelia knows this can only be bad news for the bumbling gentleman and his kind, intelligent sister.
