Description

Those averse to magic need not apply... The perfect novel for Halloween! 1880

The Witches of New York introduces us to witches Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St Clair, who have opened a tea shop in Manhattan specialising in cures, palmistry, and potions.

When an enchanting woman called Beatrice joins the witches as an apprentice, she soon proves indispensable. However, her new life is marred by strange occurrences. She sees things no one else can see. She hears voices no one else can hear. Has she been touched by magic, or is she simply losing her mind?

Amidst the witches' tug-of-war over how best to nurture her gifts, Beatrice disappears. But was it by choice or by force? In a time when women were corseted, confined, and committed for merely speaking their minds, is anyone really safe?
