Perpetually damp, even during its brilliant summers, its denizens were a tight-knit, clubby group of families who had been there for generations. Like Brigadoon, it was shrouded in fog and rarely came into view. North Hampton did not exist on any map, which made locating the small, insular community on the very edge of the Atlantic coast something of a conundrum to outsiders, who were known to wander in by chance only to find it impossible to return so that the place, with its remarkably empty silver-sand beaches, rolling green fields, and imposing, rambling farmhouses, became more of a half-remembered dream than a memory. “A sexy, magical romp, sure to bring de la Cruz a legion of new fans.” - Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of The Otherworld series Read Excerpt With a brand-new cast of characters, a fascinating and fresh world to discover, and a few surprise appearances from some of the Blue Blood fan favorites, this is a page-turning, deliciously fun, magical summer read fraught with love affairs, witchcraft, and an unforgettable battle between good and evil.

When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it’s time to uncover who and what dark forces are working against them. It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. Soon Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves. But then Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. And finally, there’s Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any heartache.įor centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. But they are harboring a mighty secret-they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. The three Beauchamp women-Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid-live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. From the author of the highly addictive and bestselling Blue Bloods series, with almost 3 million copies sold, comes a new novel, Melissa de la Cruz’s first for adults, featuring a family of formidable and beguiling witches.
