The Age of Witches

By Louisa Morgan and Louisa Morgan

Book Overview

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

Customer Reviews

In my witches era🙂

I loved the way the scenery was described in the beginning. I thought, “I want to live there.” Frances’s sternness reminds me of Ann’s adoptive mother in the Zane of Green Gables series. The more I read about Frances, the more shocked I was at the unexpected. I was hoping at one instance that Annis and Frances would be friends but I was wrong. So far, I’m getting the perfect representation of good and evil. It’s amazing to me how courteous people were back then. One of my favorite characters was Lady Eleanor because of how friendly and caring she acted towards Annis like a mother should. Unlike Frances, Lady Eleanor and Harriet were more motherly towards Annis. The lesson I’ve learned is be careful how you use your talents. Also, just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
