Nightshade and Oak
Molly O'Neill
<b>An Iron Age goddess must grapple with becoming human in this delightful historical fantasy of myth and magic from the author of the instant hit <i>Greenteeth</i>.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> When Malt, the goddess of death, is accidently turned human by a wayward spell, she finds she's ill-equipped to deal with the trials of a mortal life. After all, why would a goddess need to know how to gather food or light a fire?<br> <br> <br> <br> Unable to fend for herself, she teams up with warrior Bellis on a perilous journey to the afterlife to try to restore her powers. Frustrated by her frail human body and beset with blisters, Malt might not make the best travelling companion.<br> <br> <br> <br> But as animosity slowly turns to attraction, these two very different women must learn to work together if they are to have any hope of surviving their quest.
