Ghosts in the Yew

I would recommend “Ghosts in the Yew” to everyone who likes an elaborate Fantasy story full of political intrigue with a splash of magic. Especially if you read “The Pillars of the Earth” and enjoyed it, this will be a great read for you!" – Draumr Kopa Fantasy Book Blog

The Vesteal Series has sold over five thousand hardcover copies through hard-earned convention handsales. Now, the story is moving into the digital age with cover art by Hugo award-winning artist, Elizabeth Leggett.

Ghosts in the Yew is a page-turning epic fantasy about a country on the brink of war, surrounded by the mysteries of ancient gods, blood magic, and statecraft. This is the story of four souls that are banished beyond the edge of the map. Redemption, conquest, and intrigue ignite the journey with love, honor, and a crown at stake.

Their struggles to survive will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world. But, this story is bigger than these things.

It’s bigger than all of us.

"Like spanish moss or ivy, Ghosts in the Yew grows slowly at first but before you know it you are enveloped into a world with so much beauty and terror that it deserves to be read with an attention to the detail that the author has so carefully written." – Stephen, Goodreads

"I found it just a little too easy to get lost in the story that Ghosts in the Yew was telling, which to me, is one of the greatest signs of a good story and author.” – The Arched Doorway
