Daughters of Dark Root

Daughters of Dark Root is a series of paranormal novels by the American novelist April Aasheim. Aasheim has made a name for herself as one of the best paranormal novelists to emerge from the United States in the recent past. Her very first novel in the series was the bestselling novel “The Witches of Dark Root” first published in 2012. With the critically acclaimed novel attaining early commercial success, April has published a novel every year since. The series of novels is set in the village of Dark Root, a town where every person had the opportunity to become whatever they wanted to be. The series of novels has a lot to do with her childhood in which she spent a lot of time traveling around the country with her get-rich-quick stepfather and gypsy mother. She learned the art of Tarot reading from her mother and once lived in an abandoned miner’s shack, which perhaps explains the fascination with the darker aspects of witchcraft and dark haunted places. The Daughters of Dark Root may be best described as modern paranormal novels with a touch of romantic comedy that focuses on the relationship between Maggie, a young woman, her siblings, and her mother. The series of novels seamlessly combines the fantastic with the mundane, and the mystical with the normal, as it follows the life of the lead protagonist an apprentices to a witch.
