Más información sobre el libro

From acclaimed author Ava Reid comes a gothic horror retelling of The Juniper Tree, set in a world where a young witch grapples with her identity while escaping her abusive wizard father. Marlinchen and her two sisters live under the oppressive rule of their father in a city transitioning from magic to industry. As the last true witches of Oblya, they are reduced to a mere tourist attraction, offering archaic remedies and nostalgic charm. By day, Marlinchen divines secrets for money and tries to appease her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who isolates them from the world. At night, however, she and her sisters venture out to enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife, particularly the newly opened ballet theater, where Marlinchen finds herself enamored with a dancer. As their secret meetings intensify, so does the threat of her father's wrath and dark magic. Meanwhile, a lurking monster, born from intolerance and resentment, poses a growing danger to the city. Caught between the weight of history and the promise of progress, Marlinchen must harness her own magic to protect her city and carve out her own place within it.
