Overview:
This 3-book collection brings together three spellbinding, folklore-inspired fantasies from the acclaimed author T Kingfisher. Each story stands on its own, yet they share a love of twisting fairy-tale lore with modern, character-driven storytelling. In A Sorceress Comes to Call, Cordelia navigates a house where doors between rooms do not exist and secrets feel dangerously close at hand, all while riding beneath the shadow of Falada, her mother’s white horse. A House with Good Bones follows Sam as she returns to a family home that has changed beyond recognition, where ritual and memory collide and a grandparent’s memory casts a long shadow. Thornhedge tells the tale of Toadling, a faerie-born girl who must grant a blessing that binds human and fae worlds together. Three distinct adventures, one unforgettable tone: lyrical, eerie, and deeply human. Perfect for fans of atmospheric fantasy, gothic mood, and modern fairy tales with bite and heart.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This three-book set is a masterclass in blending the uncanny with intimate character journeys. Each novella/novel (depending on edition) leans into folklore and fairy-tale motifs while grounding fantastical events in tactile human emotions—love, belonging, courage, and the cost of power. The books can be read in any order, offering a satisfying binge-read experience that rewards careful attention to mood, symbolism, and theme. With cohesive voice and tonal continuity, the collection is a superb gift for readers who adore atmospheric fantasy, gothic restraint, and stories that linger after the last page is turned. A strong choice for shelf display, gifting, or weekend reading marathons, and a smart addition to any fantasy lover’s keeper collection.
Books Included in This Collection:
A Sorceress Comes to Call
Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors between rooms—there are no secrets in this house! Cordelia isn’t allowed to have a single friend. The only time she feels truly free is on her daily rides with her mother’s beautiful white horse, Falada. This story fuses eerie household magic with coming-of-age feel, exploring family bonds, control, and the longing for freedom in a voice that is both lyrical and quietly unsettling. A Sorceress Comes to Call draws you into a world where imagination and danger walk hand in hand, inviting readers to question what belongs to family, and what belongs to the wild.
A House with Good Bones
Samantha Montgomery returns to the family home only to find the house itself changing—walls become sterile white, the welcome mat replaced by quiet ritual, and a sense that paradise has been replaced by obligation. A black vulture sits on the mailbox as if to mark the moment of transformation. Sam navigates a world where memory clashes with modern life and where the past is stubbornly present in every room. The story blends Southern gothic atmosphere with supernatural unease, delivering a sharp, captivating read about memory, belonging, and the cost of saying grace.
