£16.99

Lux has lost everything when Else finds her, alone in the woods. Her mother, her lover, her home – all burned. The world she inhabits is full of suspicion for women like her, neither maiden nor mother, especially since the sickness came. But Lux is smart; she knows how to blend into the background, how to manipulate people’s expectations, how to defend herself. And she knows a lot about poisons. From the snowy winter woods to the bright midnight sun of the far north; from the horrors of plague to the relief of healing; from lost and powerless to finding your path, ‘Now She is Witch’ questions the binary oppositions that still shadow our lives today.

Description

In this witch story unlike any other, Lux and Else join forces to take their revenge on a powerful man. Their journey through the wild world will uncover both secrets and danger.

Lux has lost everything when Else finds her, alone in the woods. Her family, her lover, her home – all burned. The world is suspicious of women like her. But Lux is cunning; she knows how to exploit people’s expectations, how to blend into the background. And she knows a lot about poisons.

Else has not found Lux by accident. She needs her help to seek revenge against the man who wronged her, and together they pursue him north. But on their hunt they will uncover dark secrets that entangle them with dangerous adversaries.

From the snowy winter woods to the bright midnight sun; from lost and powerless to finding your path, Now She is Witch conjures a world of violence and beauty – a world where women grasp at power through witchcraft, sexuality and performance, and most of all through throwing each other to the wolves.
