The gods are dead, but will not be forgotten.
When Mymnir flees the devastation of Ragnarok, she hopes to escape all that
bound her to Ásgarðr — a heedless pantheon, a domineering brother, and
her neglectful father-master, Óðinn. But the white raven, a being of
memory and magic, should know that the past is not so easily left
behind. No matter how far she flies, she cannot evade her family...
In planting seeds of the old world in the new, Mymnir becomes queen of a
land with as many problems as the one she fled. Her long-lived Fae
children ignite and fan feuds that span generations; lives are lost and
loves won because of their tampering. Told in thirteen parts, Midnight
and Moonshine follows the Beaufort and Laveaux families, part-human,
part-Fae, as they battle, thrive and survive in Mymnir’s kingdom.
Midnight and Moonshine is a collection of interconnected tales with links
between them as light and strong as spider-silk. From fire giants to
whispering halls, disappearing children to evening-wolves, fairy hills
to bewitched cypress trees, and talking heads to moonshiners of a
special sort, Midnight and Moonshine takes readers on a journey from
ninth century Vinland to America’s Deep South in the present day.
Hannett and Slatter have created a mosaic novel of moments, story-tiles
as strange as witchwood and withywindles.
Midnight and Moonshine is a rich tapestry of dark fantasy, fairy tale and speculation.
