Draakensky, A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance by Paula Cappa

I didn’t realize how much I needed a book about a haunted windmill until I picked up Draakensky. It’s moody, magical, and has just the right amount of eerie romance to keep you hooked.

Ghostly and Gothic, Draakensky Windmill Estate is haunted. Sketch artist, Charlotte Knight, arrives to illustrate poetry for the ‘lady of the land’ Jaa Morland, a spinster known for her wind sorcery. From the first night, Charlotte must unravel the mysteries of murder and magick when she meets the beguiling Marc Sexton. Their romance leads her into a piercing journey through dark magick. Charlotte must navigate the seductive nature of Draakensky, resist the treacherous entities of the Otherworld, or succumb to the dark forces that seek her.

A murder. A wind sorcerer. A dark spirit. In the shrouded realm of Draakensky Windmill Estate, magick dictates destiny.

Fans of Gothic thrillers like Susan Hill’s Woman in Black, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, or Deborah Harkness’ The Discovery of Witches will find Draakensky goes a step deeper into the powerful Otherworld, magickal realms, and folklore.

“Cappa is a skilled craftsman. This is a sturdy, old-fashioned Gothic thriller, thoroughly charming in its atmosphere and invention and anchored by a fully dimensional heroine in the vein of Mrs. de Winter or Jane Eyre.”—US Review of Books. “Spine-tingling, atmospheric mystery.

Recommended.”—San Diego Book Review. “Draakensky is a gorgeous, gothic novel that has all the potential to become a modern classic. Dripping with dark, delicious prose and packed with sinful secrets and intricate lore, the pages crackle with magick and chemistry. Danger, passion, and intrigue. Cappa delivers on every front.”—Stephen Black, author of The Famine Witch.
