An exiled witch returns home to face the dark secrets she left behind in this thrilling novel for fans of Practical Magic and The Mayfair Witches.
Bound by blood and betrayal to the dark, unforgiving waters of the lake two centuries earlier, the Crosswise Witch can save or destroy. Each year, the Thorngood women feed their ancestress’s spirit in a fragile bargain for protection. And they’re not the only ones―desperate strangers leave offerings to the Witch in the night and walk away forever changed.
Truly Thorngood was raised to inherit her family’s magic and the land they’ve kept for generations. But one fateful night, violence shattered everything. After a deadly confrontation with Justice Deacon Clay, the most powerful and corrupt man in her small town of Dubiety, young Truly flees to New Orleans and swears off magic, leaving the Justice missing in her wake.
When her mother vanishes thirteen years later to the day―and the Justice’s son begins connecting the disappearances―Truly is forced to return home, where not only is the first love she left behind waiting, but so is the Clay family’s hunger for vengeance. As the lake starts giving up its secrets and the spirits demand their due, Truly must reckon with the witch she was meant to become and finally claim her power.
Magic for Crosswise Witches is a haunting Southern Gothic about legacy, love, and the dangerous bargains we make to survive.
