The first novel in the enchanting new trilogy by the Sunday Times bestselling author 'If you're after the perfect pick-me-up, take-me-away-from-the-world read, then she's your woman' The Guardian'Nora Roberts is, quite simply, a one-woman phenomenon'Heat Niamh McShane was born a witch and died a witch in the same moment, at the tender age of thirteen. A victim of the madness that spread from Salem Town to her home on Piety Island, her only comfort in her last hours came from the two women imprisoned with her, who saw within her light and power and gave her some of their own. Over three hundred years later, on the same island, Neve McShane wakes with excitement on her thirteenth birthday and unwraps gifts from her aunts: sneakers, an iPhone, a stunning antique pendant and a revelation that will change her life. Neve's aunts are witches, and so is she. Their lives-past and present-are bound together by that pivotal day centuries ago. Neve is tasked with stopping a growing darkness. To prepare for the dangerous enemy that awaits, she hones her skills and searches for clues to aid in her quest. And at night, she dreams of a young man from Ireland whose eyes met with hers for a fateful moment, centuries ago...
