Description

Four budding bruja BFFs face off against an anti-magic regime in this witchy, weird-girl YA dystopia for fans of Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore.

They're a coven of four: Lucy, who can hear a whisper in a crowded room. Clara, who can read your innermost thoughts. Fabiola, who can see the future. And Sirena, who can manipulate your every emotion. They've been best friends since they met on the astral plane as kids, each of them hiding their gifts from a world that insists magic and witchcraft are a threat to humanity.

But they've never met in the real world. . .until now.

As a new student at the prestigious Fletcher University, Lucy is looking forward to a perfect freshman year full of in-person coven hangs and covert witchy fun. But something is off with Lucy's roommate, Retta, almost like she might have latent magic powers she's unaware of (not possible...right?). So, when Retta disappears, Lucy knows it's up to her and her coven to investigate—that is, if they can make time for occult recon amid college classes, flirty crushes, and friendship group growing pains.

As the search for Retta leads to an enchanted forest hidden under Fletcher's campus, Lucy uncovers a chilling truth: maybe Fletcher is just another arm of the anti-magic regime. But are supernatural powers and ride-or-die friends enough to take down an oppressive authority that thinks you shouldn't exist?

Equal parts coming-of-age friendship story and supernatural dystopia, this dazzling novel finds resistance to oppression in the extraordinary and the ordinary, from magic and spellcraft to friendship, heritage, and love.
