Author C. M. Alongi had the following to say about the acquisition of her latest novel: “I am so pumped to be working on this project with the Angry Robot team. I can’t wait for The Witch who Trades with Death to hit shelves; I had a little too much fun traumatizing all the characters.”

Editor Gemma Creffield added “I fell into The Witch who Trades with Death like a knife through butter – it gripped me from the very beginning and I was desperate to know when Khana would finally catch a break. The characters, much like C.M. Alongi’s CaFae Latte favourites, are cosy, loveable and true to life. It was an absolute joy!”

Representing Alongi, agent Lesley Sagba also had the following to say: “C.M. Alongi’s The Witch who Trades with Death is tightly plotted and utterly immersive with characters and conflict that jump right off the page from the very first chapter. I couldn’t get enough of this book and Alongi’s cinematic storytelling.”
