Beschreibung

<b>A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters -- witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift.</b><br><br><i>Brittany, 1821.</i><br><br>After Grand-Mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her.<br><br>Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden.<br><br>But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever -- not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>A Secret History of Witches</i>:</b><br><br>"I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of <i>Practical Magic</i>. . .. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time." —Laure Eve, author of <i>The Graces</i><br><br>"Historical fiction at its absolute finest....Deliciously absorbing." —Boston Globe<br><br><i>"</i>At once sprawling and intimate, <i>A Secret History of Witches</i> deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and daughters." —Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of <i>The Wolf in the Whale</i><br><br><b>For more from Louisa Morgan, check out:</b><br><br><i>The Witch's Kind<br>The Age of Witches</i>
