Bookouture acquire Helen Phifer’s first fantasy novel

Associate Publisher Jennifer Hunt has acquired World All Language rights to bestselling author Helen Phifer’s first fantasy novel which tells the tale of Dora English, whose family hides a magical secret they’ve been running from since 1692…

Jennifer says,

‘Steeped in historical research from the Salem witch trials, this spell-binding, magical page-turner is the culmination of years of Helen’s passion for this area of commercial fiction. It’s utterly engrossing, with everything voracious readers of Alice Hoffman will adore: a magical house forgotten in time, a sisterhood between strong-willed women, a man destined to betray Dora, and a romance that has one last chance to bloom. Helen has turned her hand from her bestselling crime fiction to this gorgeous, mesmerising fantasy debut in the way only she can: by putting readers first. I am so excited to launch this into the world with every bit of magic in the Bookouture spell book.’

Helen says,

‘I am so thrilled to work with my brilliant editor Jennifer on this book which is very special to me and a dream come true. I know Jennifer will work her fabulous magic in bringing Dora’s story to life for my amazing readers and I’m so excited to work with the whole brilliant team at Bookouture once again.’
