Overview

Judeth Cole has always had certain uncanny abilities. But when she arrived at Solidago - her grandfather's estate by the sea - she was forced to keep them secret. There she lived a harsh life under his rule and the haunting legacy of her late grandmother, Aurelia. Until the fateful day she ignited a fire with her magic. It was the last time she saw her family alive. Seventeen years later, she's living in Seattle as Jude Clark, and failing at life, when she makes a last detour through her favorite bookstore, selecting a book to read as she waits to die. But when she pulls it from the shelf, an invitation to her for a secret midnight meeting slips out. Jude is quickly swept up into a world of secrets and magic, discovering a circle of powerful new companions led by the mysterious, enigmatic Arla. The source of their magic, Arla tells her, is an entity, trapped and bound, that they call The Fathom. But Jude swiftly realizes Arla wants this power all to herself, and that she's willing to kill for it. Terrified, Jude turns to Levi Orman, the handsome bookseller who's seen her at her worst. With his help, she begins a research journey that leads her from the crystal waters of the Mediterranean to the icy waves of the Greenland Sea and back to Solidago, the house she swore to never return to. With the Fathom threatening to break free and Arla on the hunt, Jude must finally face her past to save her future.

Reviews

Thrilling!"" - Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of The Female of the Species on The Bane Witch Praise for The Witches of Bone Hill: ""[A] wonderfully macabre contemporary fantasy. Chilling and atmospheric."" - Publishers Weekly ""Part family epic, part supernatural thriller, and part gothic romance, Ava Morgyn's The Witches of Bone Hill is a haunted house book with a witchy twist. It reminds me of Practical Magic - the novel, not the movie - this is definitely a gothy, edgy witch book, not a cozy one!"" - NPR ""[A] spellbinding tale... Morgyn effortlessly weaves together supernatural, horror, and romantic elements to create a quick but compelling read."" - Library Journal ""A simmering, supernatural mystery that conjures a brew of legacy, sisterhood, and Scandinavian witchcraft within a magnificent and malevolent house."" - Katherine Harbour, author of Thorn Jack ""The Witches of Bone Hill is a potent spell of legacy and sisterhood.

I read it in one sitting and wanted more! Ava Morgyn is a powerful new voice in magical realism."" - Constance Sayers, author of A Witch in Time ""Wickedly wonderful, The Witches of Bone Hill is a delicious concoction of darkness, magic, and sisterhood. Ava Morgyn imbues her story with a haunting sorcery all her own, making this compulsively readable new dynasty of powerful witches impossible to put down."" - Paige Crutcher, author of A Circle of Uncommon Witches
