Paula Brackston writes fiction that blends witchcraft, history, and mystery. Her Shadow Chronicles series, which started with The Witch’s Daughter / The Book of Shadows in 2008, established her approach: strong female characters, atmospheric historical settings, and supernatural elements woven into the plot. That series grew to four novels plus a related short story, The Witches of the Blue Well (2012). The Witch’s Daughter also launched a two-book sub-series, with The Return of the Witch arriving in 2016.
Her Brothers Grimm Mystery series takes a lighter tone, putting fairy tale characters into cozy mystery scenarios across four books from 2014 to 2017. The Found Things series (2018-2021) follows a different track, mixing time travel with antiques in a four-book run that starts with The Little Shop of Found Things. Her most recent release is The Witch’s Knight (2022), the first book in the White Shadow Trilogy. Across sixteen books and six series, Brackston’s catalog is a good fit for readers who like their fantasy grounded in real historical periods with a strong thread of the uncanny running through it.
