Magical Novels About Witches
Witches have always been a staple of the fantasy genre. Who can forget some of the iconic witches who’ve appeared throughout pop culture, like the Wicked Witch of the West, or Sabrina, or Morgan LeFay? They come in so many shapes, sizes, and moral alignments. Whether you’re looking for the good, the bad, the beautiful, the grotesque, or even those who never call themselves by the word but certainly earn the title, these books about witches will satisfy any magical itch you need to scratch.
Author Louisa Morgan touches on the deeply feminist history of witches with a novel that centers a single magical family with a tumultuous history. In this world, magic and its craft are passed down from mother to daughter. When matriarch Ursule dies, her magic seems to die along with her. But when a young witch of the latest generation joins the family's bond, she renews the magic and its legacy. Told throughout history and between family members with an unbreakable bond, A Secret History of Witches meditates on notions of family, heritage, and love.
What?! Another book by Louisa Morgan? The answer is yes, and for good reason. This new release tells a brand new story in the Pacific Northwest after World War II. Barrie Anne and her aunt Charlotte live in a small coastal community, and mostly keep to themselves. But when both a mysterious, magical baby and Barrie Anne's long lost husband arrive, their quiet lives are about to be a lot less quiet.
