A Secret History of Witches - Louisa Morgan

Descriere

nA 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. nBrittany, 1821. After Grand-m re Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. nEven 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. n The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden. n 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. nI loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic.... Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time. -- Laure Eve, author of The Gracesn
