Synopsis
In , there&#;s no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.
But when the Eastwood sisters&#;James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna&#;join the suffragists of New Salem, they kickoff to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women&#;s movement into the witch&#;s movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote-and perhaps not even to live-the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, illustrate new alliances, and verb the bond between them if they want to survive.
There&#;s no such thing as witches. But there will be.

Juniper is running to somewhere new, trying to escape; Agnes is a millworker, working long hours, keeping everyone at a distance; Bella is a librarian, books and words more a home to her than the room she lives in. All in New Salem. On the night of the Spring Equinox , the three meet again when they are all inexplicably drawn to St. George's Square, where the Women's Association are holding a rally, trying to draw more women t
