Come and join Welsh author E L Williams for the launch of her latest book: The Butterfly Witch.
She survived witch hunts and world wars, but can love save her from time itself?

1612 – Born into a powerful line of witches, Gwen has always been a disappointment, a girl without magic in a community that reveres it. When news of the Pendle witch trials reaches Gwen’s coven, they cast a desperate spell to shelter orphaned magic. But a cruel twist of fate leaves Gwen to bear the burden alone, cursed to carry magic she cannot wield and hunted by those who would claim it.
1939 – For centuries, Gwen has been running. Always alone. Always afraid. Until she meets Walt, a world-weary spy who asks for nothing but her friendship. As war looms and shadows deepen, Gwen wonders if Walt’s secrets run even deeper than her own.
1976 – Haunted by his service in Vietnam, private investigator Dan is barely scraping by. When a wealthy client hires him to find a missing woman, he almost refuses – until he witnesses a murder that changes everything.
The deeper he digs, the more he realises that Gwen is the woman time forgot. And if his client finds her first, the magic she has guarded for centuries, and Gwen herself, may be lost forever.
A sweeping tale of love, friendship and the fragile threads that bind us across lifetimes.
E. L. Williams grew up in the Welsh Valleys in a tiny house overflowing with books and stories of magic.
Emma is the author of the Ethereal World fantasy series - a duology (The First Ethereal and The Blessing of Crows) and two standalone novels set in the same magical world hidden within our own: The Magic Keepers and The Butterfly Witch.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, gardening, torturing her cello, or sneaking yet another houseplant into the home she shares with her endlessly patient husband.
