A dead witch. A bitter curse. A battle of magic. Some people knit socks by the fire at night. Gyssha Blackbone made monsters. But the old witch is dead now, and somehow it's Elodie's job to clean up the mess. When she was hired at Black Oak Cottage, Elodie had no idea she'd find herself working for a witch; and her acid-tongued new mistress, Aleida, was not expecting a housemaid to turn up on her doorstep. Gyssha's final curse left Aleida practically dead on her feet, and now, with huge monsters roaming the woods, a demonic tree lurking in the orchard and an angry warlock demanding repayment of a debt, Aleida needs Elodie's help, whether she likes it or not. And no matter what the old witch throws at her, to Elodie it's still better than going back home.

"Winter Be My Shield" will take you to an unforgiving place, but you won't want to leave it.' Robin Hobb

Demons live in the world of popular music. These evil creatures of deceit and greed hunger for power and control. And this voracious lust for dominance is not wielded by the executives alone. The music makers themselves consume equally the life-force of fans and all they touch. We are all driven by our needs and passions, and likewise constrained by our fears. The fear of exposure the exposure of our darkest secrets. It is said that the measure of a person is their ability to recognize and control the vectors of life and to control his or her own fate. These carrots and sticks of our psyches are what separate us from these demons. Life specializes in irony and the unexpected. Everything comes at a price. Regret is the anguish that lingers deep inside our souls. Seldom do the powerful and renowned dwell within the abyss of these sorrows. This fact is an empirical truth of humanity; regret is the unintentional reality. This is the world in which Chris Grant finds himself. Two years later, two years older two years too late.
