The Grimm sisters, born from luminous hope and shadowy longing, each command a single element with formidable might. Yet a child born of a Grimm and a fallen star would possess mastery over all elements, wielding boundless power.
Goldie, at twenty-one, bore a daughter by her deceased lover. Now, as Goldie approaches thirty, her daughter Luna nears nine. Conceived betwixt life and death, Luna embodies both star-soldier and Grimm, with these conflicting forces battling within her.
Fearing for her increasingly unpredictable child, Goldie flees. A violent incident forces her return, and Luna is placed in care. Mother and daughter can still rendezvous in the haunted realm of Everwhere.
Determined to reclaim Luna, Goldie must also confront the malevolent force corrupting Everwhere. As fresh leaves wither and Grimm girls perish, Goldie, dreading her father's return, realises she cannot triumph alone. She summons her sisters, but can their familial bonds withstand the terrible cost that must be paid?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
