Heba Al-Wasity

Weavingshaw is darkly romantic and completely absorbing [...] Al-Wasity grapples with evils both supernatural (demons, possession) and horrifyingly real (imperialism, displacement, the prison-industrial complex)[…] But the good news is, this is the first book in a planned trilogy. I hope that, like Leena, Al-Wasity will only continue to come into her powers.

One part sumptuous Gothic mystery, another part all the yearning and coy wordplay of a Jane Austen novel. I adored every minute of Weavingshaw

A searing, revolutionary gothic masterpiece with an exquisite slow burn romance, Weavingshaw will haunt you long after the last page. A stunning, shadow-drenched debut.

Intense, intriguing and impossible to put down, Weavingshaw is a truly gorgeous gothic fantasy steeped in atmosphere and filled with yearning

A twisty gothic oozing with angst that will have you turning the next page — but never guessing what’s next. With sharp haunted heroines and morally grey saints, Weavingshaw unfurls its shadows to examine how secrets are currency — and shields around your heart. I needed the next book yesterday!

A book that doffs its cap to 18th/19th century creepy mansion novels with a stormy central romance more along the lines of Wuthering Heights or Rebecca [...] This is a hugely enjoyable debut novel that has an appeal way beyond romantasy fans.

'Leena didn't believe in monsters until she saw Weavingshaw.' 
 
The Saint of Silence trades coins for every sordid divulgence uttered to him. The darker the secret, the higher the price. 
 
Leena has a secret, one that has haunted her since she was seventeen – she can see the dead. When her brother falls ill, she knows what she must do: seek the Saint. 
 
But Leena's secret is more valuable to him that she could have imagined. To save her brother, she must make a deal with him to find the ghost he's searching for. 
 
All paths lead to Weavingshaw, a cursed estate on the moors. As Leena grows closer to the Saint, and is plunged into his world of danger, deceit and desire, she learns that he is hiding his own secrets – ones that have the power to destroy them all.
