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. 

Before I was a liar I was a historian, which is a kind of storyteller who doesn’t make any money and likes footnotes. When I took up professional lying (writing fiction), I thought I was done with the truth. But when I paused and turned back to look at my almost-decade of stories, I didn’t...

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored and utterly out of place. But her quiet existence is shattered when she stumbles across a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page reveals more impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

Hundreds of years after the end of the world, the Appalachian community of Iron Hollow finds itself beset by demons. Such horrors are common these days in the outlands, where most folks die young—if they don’t turn into monsters first. When a legendary knight is summoned to hunt down the latest unearthly beast to haunt their woods, the town’s new oral historian, Shrike, has more reason than most to be concerned. Because that demon was her wife. And while Shrike is certain that May still recognizes her—that May is still herself, somewhere beneath it all—she can’t prove it.

Rimasta orfana, Opal ha lasciato la scuola e ora lavora come commessa part time, sperando di guadagnare abbastanza per garantire al fratello Jasper una vita migliore. Una vita lontano da Eden, nel Kentucky, un luogo celebre solo per due cose: la sua sfortuna e la scrittrice E. Starling, autrice del romanzo Il Sottomondo, misteriosamente scomparsa cent'anni prima lasciando dietro di sé solo chiacchiere e un'antica dimora nascosta tra gli alberi. Tutti concordano su un fatto: meglio ignorare quella casa e il suo bizzarro, misantropo proprietario, Arthur Starling. Quasi tutti, a dire il vero.

Es gibt keine Hexen mehr. Aber sie werden zurückkommen. Früher, als die Luft so voller Magie war, dass sie einen Geschmack von Asche auf der Zunge hinterließ, waren die Hexen wild wie Krähen und furchtlos wie Füchse und die Nacht gehörte ihnen. Diese Zeiten sind vorbei. Die Frauen mussten lernen zu schweigen und ihr Wissen zu verbergen. Aber wahre Hexerei kann jederzeit erwachen.

Opal wie, że lepiej nie zadzierać z nawiedzonymi domami i ponurymi, tajemniczymi mężczyznami, ale niespodziewana oferta pracy może być szansą na lepszą przyszłość dla jej brata.
