Zely Bagwell makes a deal with her legendary father: help him hunt down the witch who cursed her brother, and he'll break her arranged marriage to the brute waiting at home.
It should be simple. Her father's Sir Trevor Bagwell—the knight who's never lost a battle. All Zely has to do is follow orders, stay quiet, and collect her freedom when it's over.
But the witch isn't what they expected. Her father isn't who she thought he was. And the deeper they travel into the frozen north, the more Zely realizes this hunt is about to cost far more than she bargained for.
Beneath the Ley Line is a character-driven dark fantasy about family bonds, hard-won agency, and the brutal cost of heroism—with appeal to fans of Naomi Novik's Uprooted, Joe Abercrombie's morally complex characters, and R.F. Kuang's unflinching examinations of power.
Genre: Fantasy
