A book stall with Ransomed Hearts books on sale. A table with a black cloth, two display stands, books on the table, price and information cards, a pull up banner.
Fight for the Future Ransomed Hearts book 1 by Jeanette Greaves. The arrival of two young outsiders in Bardale catches the attention of a widowed farmer, who sees in their story an echo of the valley's darkest secret. Werewolves have returned to Lancashire. They may just want a quiet life, but fate has other plans for the brothers, who have escaped their past and must now fight for their future. Out now via Amazon and all good bookshops.
This Saturday, with @bigthinkpublishing.bsky.social #BookSky ๐๐
