Synopsis

In a reimagined 1893 America, where witches are deemed a relic of the past, the three estranged Eastwood sisters—James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Bella Blackwood—converge in New Salem. Though magic is suppressed and women's power is confined to the ballot box, the sisters discover echoes of forgotten, wilder witchcraft. As they join the burgeoning suffragist movement, they begin to weave these ancient spells into a potent "witch's movement," aiming to ignite a revolution of women and magic. Their efforts do not go unnoticed, as dark forces rise to quash their burgeoning power and prevent witches from ever truly existing again. Stalked by unseen enemies and grappling with their fractured past, the sisters must delve deeper into the oldest magics, forge unlikely alliances, and mend the broken bonds between them if they are to survive and reclaim their heritage, proving that some things, once forgotten, are destined to rise again.

Critical Reception

""The Once and Future Witches" is a New York Times Bestseller, lauded by critics and authors alike as a glorious, thrilling, and magically compelling tale that brilliantly reimagines history through the lens of feminist power and ancient magic."
