Description
The reign of men has ended
in this gripping thriller from Elizabeth Hand, and the fate of the world is on
the line
Sweeney
Cassidy is a typical college freshman at the University of the Archangels and
St. John the Divine in Washington, DC. She drinks. She parties. And she certainly
doesn’t suspect that underneath its picturesque Gothic façade, the University
is a haven for the Benandanti, a cult devoted to suppressing the powerful and
destructive Moon Goddess. But everything is about to change as Sweeney learns
that her two new best friends are the Goddess’s Chosen Ones.
Rich
and engrossing, Waking the Moon is a
seductive post-feminist thriller that delves into an ancient feud, where the
real and magical collide, and one woman is forced to make a decision that will
change the world.
