The All-Powerful Ring

The stories in the Witches of Benevento series take place in the 1820s and feature five children, two of whom are twins. Book 2: When Primo catches a fish in the river and finds a ring inside, he believes the ring will provide supernatural protection for him and his friends.

Wanting to stop the springtime mischiefs-and overcome his own fear of Manalonga-Primo seeks an advantage. He finds one when he discovers a mysterious ring in the belly of a fish. Is the ring just a pretty trinket or is it magic?

Wanting to stop the springtime mischiefs—and overcome his own fear of Manalonga—Primo seeks an advantage. He finds one when he discovers a mysterious ring in the belly of a fish. Is the ring just a pretty trinket or is it magic?

Welcome to Benevento, an ancient town famous for its witches!

The children of Benevento have to be careful and clever to evade the clutches of such witches as the Manalonga, the Janara, and the Clopper, who hide in wells and under bridges, fly at midnight, and play tricks during Mischief Season.

Five cousins—Primo, Emilio, Rosa, Maria Beppina, and Sergio—share adventures and narrow escapes, and discover astonishing secrets as they outwit the witches in each exciting story.
