ory based on very old practices of love, magic and rebellion. Mathilde has few options. She is part of the peasantry but finds hope when a visiting monk takes an interest in her poetry. He steals it instead. While Mathilde must walk a difficult line of proving her own worth in early modern England when witch hunts were gaining steam, we become witness to the unseen where rogue women resist early capitalism and unusual friends make alliances with fairy folk. The Rebel Rose is a homage to everyone who will fight to have their voices heard.
