Even so, her family keeps the Old Faith, practicing the spells and rites that have been handed from mother to daughter for generations. Publication Date: November 2017 by RedhookĪn ancient and dangerous power is being handed down from mother to daughter through some of the most consequential historic events of the last two centuries.Īfter Grandmére Ursule gives her life to save her tribe, her magic seems to die with her. If you love novels with witches, I think you’ll love this book. This book sealed the deal for me-whenever I’m in the mood for witches and magic, Morgan will definitely be one of my go-to authors in the future! It was the sort of book that, once started, I couldn’t stop until I’d reached the end. Luckily for me, I didn’t just enjoy it-I LOVED IT! Each of the women were fascinating characters (some more likeable than others, as I’d hoped), and though they were similarities in their lives, each time, their choices led to unpredictable outcomes. I like to read books featuring witches, so I expected to enjoy this book.
For all of them, the threat of discovery is a constant danger. Some are tempted to use their magic in forbidden ways. Some of the witches are more powerful than others. The family birthright-a crystal, a grimoire-is the source of their power and knowledge, and passes through each generation.
Knowledge of who they are, and how to practice the craft is passed from mother to daughter. With a time span of a little over one hundred years, the world changes a great deal throughout the books, but one thing remains the same: the Orchiére women must never let anyone discover they are witches. The story is arranged in five different sections, as follows: The Book of Nanette, The Book of Ursule, The Book of Irène, The Book of Morwen, and The Book of Veronica. And it took me all of (maybe) five minutes to wish I hadn’t waited so long to do it.Ī Secret History of Witches tells the story of five generations of the Orchiére witches. However, it wasn’t until I was approved for an early copy of The Age of Witchesthrough Netgalley that I decided to read this book. I’ve had this one on my TBR for a long time.
