A Secret History of Witches de Louisa Morgan

A Secret History of Witches

Autor Louisa Morgan
en Paperback – 30 apr 2018
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.

Brittany, 1821.After Grand-mère Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her.

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.

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.


"I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent ofPractical Magic.... Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time." -- Laure Eve, author ofThe Graces
