Imagine a world where the Knights of the Round Table have a female equivalent. Laura Bates, the UK's foremost feminist author, presents a revolutionary Arthurian fantasy that will captivate fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sarah J. Maas.

In a society where men's defeats at the hands of women go unspoken, Cass yearns for liberation from her impending arranged marriage. When a mysterious, leather-clad woman offers her an escape, Cass seizes the opportunity without hesitation. She's thrust into the world of the Sisters of Sword and Shadow, an order of female knights dedicated to combat, community protection, and rectifying the injustices perpetrated by men. As Cass delves deeper into this realm of age-old conflicts, glorious battles, and perilous intrigue, she uncovers a latent power within herself that could alter not only her own destiny but that of her entire sisterhood.

Laura Bates' fantasy debut marks the beginning of an enthralling duology that explores themes of power, bravery, and the narratives we construct about our past. This gripping tale has garnered praise from literary luminaries, with Katherine Webber hailing it as "absolutely brilliant" and a celebration of sisterhood's magic and might. Bea Fitzgerald lauds it as an "empowering and courageous" narrative of true chivalry, while Catherine Doyle describes it as a "dazzling tale of courage, power and sisterhood" featuring a truly compelling heroine.

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.’
