Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches and The Witch's Kind, returns with another captivating tale of family, witchcraft and love that spans generations - perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Witch's Daughter and A Discovery of Witches

Brittany, 1821. After Grand-mere 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.

Set against a backdrop of magic, the narrative explores themes of healing and the power of unexpected friendships. As characters confront their pasts, they navigate the complexities of their relationships with both the living and the ghosts that linger. This enchanting tale intertwines the supernatural with deep emotional journeys, inviting readers to reflect on the connections that shape our lives.

Driven out of hell and with nothing to lose, the Fallen wage open warfare against the angels. And they're winning. As the balance tips towards the darkness, Alice - barely recovered from her own ordeal in hell and struggling to start over - once again finds herself in the eye of the storm. But with the chaos spreading is the price simply too high?
