"A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling authorA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPageIn the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement.In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling.Praise for The Once and Future Witches:"A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author"This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's DrumFor more from Alix E. Harrow, check out The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

Now the Hunters are poised to burn magic out of the mortal world forever. Arwyn Hopkin spent years living a lie. Meeting Hector changed that.

Witches and Hunters face off in one final battle that will determine the fate of their world forever. And beneath the rising chaos, desire sparks hotter than it ever has between them-dangerous, undeniable, and impossible to control.

"Shakespear's witches and their blasted heath couldn't be farther from the world of Rosemay Edghill's contemporary Wiccans. Today's witches hold coven meetings in New York City aprtments and buy their books and supplies in cheerful neighbirhood shops. They even hold regular jobs - well, sort of regular. Bast, a.k.a. Karen Hightower, is a freelance graphic artist - the flexible hours leave her plenty of time for covenmeets, gossip sessions, and, just lately, a little detective work. Even good-hearted, nature-loving Wiccans aren't immune to political infighting, greed, and jealousy. In a community where everybody knows everybody else's business, where cliques turn into covens, and where sexual relationships can have more than ordinary power, passion can quickly turn to murdery. Armed with a quick brain and a clever tongue, Bast pokes into the dark corners of the Wiccan world and finds Truth of more than one kind."--
