By renowned screenwriter Irena Brignull (The BoxtrollsandThe Little Prince) comes a major new Young Adult series about the power of sisterhood, fate, and magic. Followed by the sequelThe Hawkweed Legacy.
A stunning debut tells a bewitching story: two girls, one ancient prophecy. Only one can be queen of the witches.
Poppy Hooper and Ember Hawkweed couldn't lead more different lives. Poppy is a troubled teen: moving from school to school, causing chaos wherever she goes, never making friends or lasting connections. Ember is a young witch, struggling to find a place within her coven and prove her worth. Both are outsiders: feeling like they don't belong and seeking escape.
Poppy and Ember soon become friends, and secretly share knowledge of their two worlds. Little do they know that destiny has brought them together: an ancient prophecy, and a life-changing betrayal. Growing closer, they begin to understand why they've never belonged and the reason they are now forever connected to each other.
Switched at birth by the scheming witch Raven Hawkweed, Poppy and Ember must come to terms with their true identities and fight for their own place in the world. Enter Leo, a homeless boy with a painful past who - befriending them both - tests their love and loyalty. Can Poppy and Ember's friendship survive? And can it withstand the dark forces that are gathering?

Recenzii
"Brignull'sThe
Hawkweed
Prophecyis
a
deft
exploration
of
friendship,
sacrifice,
and
betrayal.
I
can't
decide
who
I
love
more,
the
sweet
and
trusting
Ember
or
the
spunky,
dark
Poppy.
You
can't
help
but
cheer
for
both
girls,
and
ache
when
they
are
pitted
against
one
another.
I
was
completely
absorbed
in
the
sinister,
complicated
world
of
magic
and
witches.
The
coven
is
described
so
confidently
and
beautifully,
it's
hard
to
emerge
from
the
novelw
ithout
wondering
if
these
women
are
operating
somewhere
just
below
the
surface
of
our
world.
Full
of
romance,
heart,
and
suspense,
readers
will
find
themselves
staying
up
all
night
just
to
spend
a
little
more
time
with
Ember
and
Poppy."
—Madeleine Roux, author of the Asylum series
"Wildly delightful."
—Laini Taylor, author of The Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy
"Irena Brignull'sThe Hawkweed Prophecyis a book of wicked, beautiful magic. Compulsively readable and delightfully gritty, one does not mess with these Hawkweed witches."
—Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood, and Three Dark Crowns
"Wise, weird, a touch evil and totally charming, Irena Brignull's tale of magic in our time is as rich and complicated as sisterhood. From the first page, I felt drawn into a modern classic."
—Anna Godbersen, author of The Luxe, and Bright Young Things series
"I loved this book! Irena has created such a beautiful complete world-our world, and nestled within it, a simmering world of magic.The Hawkweed Prophecyhas everything: friendship, desire, delicious earthy magic, secrets and spells, and at its centre, the wonderful young Poppy, on a journey of self-discovery."
—Karen Foxlee, author of Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy, and A Most Magical Girl
"The Hawkweed Prophecywas bewitching from the get-go. Irena Brignull does an amazing job weaving a tale of pure magic in this debut novel. She'll have you on a roller coaster of emotions from the very first page. Get ready to be spellbound."—Paige McKenzie, author of The Haunting of Sunshine Girl series
"Brignull develops story and characters slowly, long, luxurious sentences balancing the magic and the mundane expertly and building the world of the witches by showing how out of place Ember is in it. Tension builds inexorably to the inevitable witch showdown, which brings small victories but not a happily-ever-after for all. The third-person narration switches focus from character to character as they make frustrating, heart-rending, totally believable choices. Fantasy and nonfantasy readers alike will appreciate this gritty and intriguing coming-of-age story."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Brignull...debuts with an instantly engrossing novel...It's a fantasy with the air of a classic, yet one that's also entirely contemporary in its tight focus on identity, friendship, and romance. Ages 12-up."
—Publisher's Weekly Starred Review
"For fans of mysticism and witches, this is a must-buy."
