From the author of the
highly addictive and bestselling Blue Bloods series, with
almost 3 million copies sold, comes a new novel, Melissa de
la Cruz's first for adults, featuring a family of
formidable and beguiling witches.
The three Beauchamp women--Joanna and her daughters Freya
and Ingrid--live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long
Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost
stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet,
uneventful existences. But they are harboring a mighty
secret--they are powerful witches banned from using their
magic. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal
the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter,
has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that
can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. And
finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or
a potion that can cure most any heartache.
For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress
their abilities. But then Freya, who is about to get
married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds
that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it
more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon Ingrid
and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp
women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves.
They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their
broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople.
It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic,
but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the
town. When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July
weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what
dark forces are working against them.
With a brand-new cast of characters, a fascinating and
fresh world to discover, and a few surprise appearances
from some of the Blue Blood fan favorites, this is a page-
turning, deliciously fun, magical summer read fraught with
love affairs, witchcraft, and an unforgettable battle
between good and evil.
