In Gilded Age New York, a centuries-long clash between two magical
families ignites when a young witch must choose between love and
loyalty, power and ambition, in this magical novel by Louisa Morgan.
In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later,
her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one
dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the
other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means
necessary. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman
in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle
for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself-and
resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.
Praise for The Age of Witches:
"Morgan's beautifully conjured tale of three women, social mores, and
the sanctity of self-determination is thoroughly enthralling."
--Booklist (starred review)
"Morgan's incantatory prose and independent-minded women will delight
fans of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen with this tale of female
self-realization and magical realism. A highly enjoyable read."
--Historical Novel Society
"An Austen-esque romance, a heart-racing mystery full of dangerous
twists and an anxiety-inducing yet enthralling family feud....It all
makes for a perfect brew." --Bookpage
