What folklore creatures appear in Toria Howell's books?

2

Are these books like White Haven Witches?

3

The Witches of Môrlan has a similar British folklore-based approach and is a paranormal cosy mystery/urban fantasy series, but I focus on Welsh locations and mythology. The magic system is also a little different, based in folklore rather than ritual and the elements, but it is very much about witches who use magic in their daily lives The Saltmere Chronicles is set in Cornwall but is a paranormal romance series.

What's the difference between the Saltmere Chronicles and Witches of Môrlan?

4

The Saltmere Chronicles is paranormal romance set in Cornwall (six-book complete series). The Witches of Môrlan is a paranormal cosy mystery/urban fantasy series set in Wales (launching 2026).
