About this book

Three sisters discover that the old magic their grandmother whispered about might be exactly what the suffragist movement needs to shake the foundations of power in 1890s New Salem. As they weave forgotten spells alongside petitions and protests, they awaken forces both wondrous and dangerous—and attract the attention of enemies determined to stop them. Lush with atmospheric world-building, complex family dynamics, and the thrill of women reclaiming power long denied them, this historical fantasy celebrates the quiet rebellion of witchcraft and the radical act of refusing to be silenced. It's the perfect blend of intimate sister drama and sweeping magical stakes that will have you believing witches were never really gone at all.

Blend folk rebellion with dark academia energy—think Hozier's haunting vocals, Florence + The Machine's raw power, and Phoebe Bridgers' introspective magic. Layer in gothic indie and orchestral swells. Capture the tension between Victorian restraint and ancient, awakening power.”
