Beschreibung:
Jessica Spotswood lives in Washington, D.C., with her playwright husband and a cuddly cat named Monkey. She's never happier than when she's immersed in a good story, and swoony kissing scenes are her favorite.
A gorgeous, witchy, romantic fantasy by a debut author! Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and the Beautiful Creatures series!
Everybody thinks Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they're witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship--or an early grave. Then Cate finds her mother's diary, and uncovers a secret that could spell her family's destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra. But if what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren't safe--not even from each other.

Cate und ihre Schwestern Maura und Tess sind Hexen. Niemand darf davon erfahren, denn Hexen drohen Verbannung und Tod. Die Gefahr, aufzufliegen, lastet schwer auf Cate. Vor allem seit Finn aufgetaucht ist, dieser Junge mit den Zimtsommersprossen und dem kupferroten zerzausten Haar. Verzweifelt sucht Cate nach einem Ausweg und stößt im Tagebuch ihrer toten Mutter auf eine rätselhafte Prophezeiung, die besagt, dass drei Schwestern mit magischen Kräften die Hexen zurück an die Macht führen werden. Handelt es sich dabei um Cate, Maura und Tess? Und kann es überhaupt eine gemeinsame Zukunft für Cate und Finn geben?
