Gorse

Gorse is a poignant and lyrical examination of faith, love, and grief, set in a village where belief in the old ways is fading and death stalks the moor. Nancy Bligh, a natural-sighted friend to spriggans, piskies, and human locals, has power that Pel never had and never lets her use, but as Mirecoombe falls into darkness, perhaps her time has come.

The villagers of Mirecoombe have long relied on Lord Pelagius Hunt, a mediator between the worlds of men and fey, for help. However, a time of change has arrived, and belief in the old ways has dimmed in favor of the Reverend Cleaver's fiery pulpit. His church stands proud above the mire, and the name of God is whispered, hushed, and loved. Death stalks Mirecoombe on the moor, with corpses in the heather and blood in the gorse. Nancy Bligh, a natural sighted friend to spriggans, piskies, and human locals of Mirecoombe, is determined to maintain the balance between the fey and the human world, despite Pel's refusal to be the Keeper. Blessed with natural sight, Nancy has power that Pel never had and never lets her use. But as Mirecoombe falls into darkness, perhaps her time has come. Gorse is a poignant and lyrical examination of faith, love, and grief, asking what we choose to believe and how it shapes who we are.
