The Once and Future Witches

The spellbinding bestseller

By: Alix E. Harrow

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

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 three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten 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 must 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.

Critic reviews

"A brilliant dazzle of a book...I devoured it in enormous gulps, and utterly loved it." (Kat Howard, author of The Unkindness of Ghosts)

"This is a delightful, satisfying novel, a tale of women's battle for equality, of fairy tales twisted into wonderfully witchy spells, of magics both large and small, and history re-imagined." (Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches)

"The Once and Future Witches is a gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women." (Laini Taylor, New York Times best-selling author)

Charming!

This is a charming story, with a beautiful but melancholy ending. The 3 sisters catch your imagination and heart easily.

Captivating story of a truly witching kind!

A captivating story that is so perfectly complimented by a voice that draws you into each character as if u were right there beside the Eastwood sisters. Not only is it a thought provoking novel about what all woman truly desire, it has been put together with such delicate (extra) touches to make it, an exquisite experience! Thank you!

Absolutely breathtaking

This book buried itself deep inside my heart and will stay there for a long time. This is a tale of three sisters, of women’s place in the society and their secret powers. It’s a love letter to story telling and sister hood. The last hour of this book I had non stop goosebumps and I cried from the sheer beauty of prose and characters. Alix E Harrow is a witch herself, spell binding me with her words. Thank you!
