For fans of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane and A
Discovery of Witches comes a brilliantly imagined debut
novel brimming with rich history, suspense, and magic. Revelation “Reve” Dyer grew up with her grandmother’s
family
stories, stretching back centuries to Reve’s ancestors,
who
founded the town of Hawley Five Corners, Massachusetts.
Their history is steeped in secrets, for few outsiders
know
that an ancient magic runs in the Dyer women’s blood, and
that Reve is a magician whose powers are all too real. Reve and her husband are world-famous Las Vegas
illusionists. They have three lovely young daughters, a
beautiful home, and what seems like a charmed life. But
Reve’s world is shattered when an intruder alters her
trick
pistol and she accidentally shoots and kills her beloved
husband onstage. Fearing for her daughters’ lives, Reve flees with them to
the place she has always felt safest—an antiquated
farmhouse
in the forest of Hawley Five Corners, where the magic of
her
ancestors reigns, and her oldest friend—and first love—is
the town’s chief of police. Here, in the forest, with its
undeniable air of enchantment, Reve hopes she and her
girls
will be protected. Delving into the past for answers, Reve is drawn deeper
into
her family’s legends. What she discovers is The Hawley
Book
of the Dead, an ancient leather-bound journal holding
mysterious mythic power. As she pieces together the truth
behind the book, Reve will have to shield herself and her
daughters against an uncertain, increasingly dangerous
fate.
For soon it becomes clear that the stranger who upended
Reve’s life in Las Vegas has followed her to Hawley—and
that
she has something he desperately wants. Brimming with rich history, suspense, and magic, The
Hawley
Book of the Dead is a brilliantly imagined debut novel
from
a riveting new voice.
