Sorcery

A coming-of-age story with “the girl who survived” at the heart of an ancient war between witches and hunters

Circe Darcal has always noticed things others don’t. Since childhood, she has been able to see into images—as if they contained hidden, often violent narratives. Her peculiar gift, long dismissed as imagination, sharpens when she leaves her grandmother’s home in Valdaya to study History at the University of Ochoa—the city where her parents were murdered.

From the moment she arrives at the gothic student residence, strange signs begin to gather around her: a crow that refuses to leave her side, a mysterious girl in costume who follows her through the faculty halls, serpents that haunt her dreams, and new friends—Rebeka and Casandra—who are clearly keeping secrets.

When a disturbing incident pierces the surface of her new life, Circe learns she descends from a powerful lineage of witches—and that she is bound to an ancient prophecy that could tip the balance in a hidden war between the witches of the Blue Moon and the order that has hunted them for centuries.

As she struggles to understand her role in this conflict, Circe finds herself caught between two men: Arturo, warm and irreverent, and Narciso Blackwell, the masked heir to a wealthy, secretive family whose mansion towers over Ochoa, held aloft by stone wolves.

A book brimming with magic, set in a meticulously crafted universe ruled by a matriarchal society of witches. Perfect for teenagers ready to move on to more mature reads—or for adults who once loved Harry Potter.
