My fantasy novel Widdershins travels from the Northern Isles to Edina in a rollicking, lyrical fairy tale. Kara’s story is vibrant retelling of the selkie myth and an epic tale of connected lives spanning a thousand years. She time-slips through myth and folklore to a post-apocalyptic future and back again, fleeing hunters and collectors as she travels to the end of time in search of her lost skin.

This foiled paperback edition with sprayed edges is exclusive to Feralstrumpet.com

The paperback will ship around the 20th of October 2026.

An ebook is also exlusive to my website and is available here.

“A bold and absorbing exploration of how a soul – and its story – can survive its tellings and retellings. Over a thousand years and through shifting landscapes, Kára finds and forgets herself in an epic quest for connection and belonging. An intricate fantasy with folkloric roots, Shaw guides us through distant pasts, terrifying futures and a retelling of the selkie myth with a sure hand.”
