The Wild Magic trilogy culminates in a middle-grade fantasy adventure
about witches, courage, community, and the terrors of sudden climate
change.
Third in a darkly enchanting trilogy after Begone the Raggedy Witches
and The Little Grey Girl, The Promise Witch opens in a time of heat
and thirst. The deposed old tyrant of a queen sent a cursed winter to
bury Witches Borough in snow. Months later, the clouds have vanished,
but an equally cursed drought has settled over the castle and its river,
now bone-dry. Witches Borough is dying, and though Mup is the
pathfinder, the stitcher of worlds, is she strong enough to mend a
scorched landscape and bring the water home? Enter a raggedy witch
trailing a storm of ashes: Magda, Crow's mother. She wants Mup to
fulfill a promise. She wants Mup to help her. And woe betide any who
stand in her way. Irish storyteller Celine Kiernan's breathtaking tale
of family, loyalty, and risk caps a timeless trilogy brimming with drama
and danger--and heartbreaking resonance to the struggles of today.
