Her dilemma worsens when an eagle-eyed governess takes up residence, and a mysterious note arrives, urging Cate to seek her mother’s diary. Cate is responsible for protecting her family, a responsibility that does not square with marrying the tempting and handsome Paul McLeod. Cate, like her two sisters, is a secret witch, the legacy of a mother who died young trying to produce a male heir. Girls must marry or go into the convent by their 17th birthday, and Cate Cahill’s moment of truth is fast approaching. The Brotherhood has established a Christian dictatorship by overthrowing a governing caste of witches, and any hint of the arcane is now reason enough to sentence a woman to an asylum or hard labor. Spotswood’s debut, first in the Cahill Witch Chronicles, is set in an alternate New England circa 1896.
