(Preorder) Witches of New York: A Novel by Ami McKay

Trade PB original New York, 1880: Every self-respecting socialite knows these women’s names. Eleanor St. Clair, proprietress of an apothecary and tearoom; Adelaide Thom, an intuitive beauty; and Beatrice Dunn, youngest of the three, an impulsive flirt who wields extraordinary power over men. From Union Square to Central Park, their séances are the toast of the town—“witchcraft” is all the rage these days among Manhattan society. But when seventeen-year-old Beatrice doesn’t appear for breakfast, suddenly help is nowhere to be found. Though Isabelle is unconcerned, Adelaide fears a more sinister fate has befallen Beatrice. Her only lead is dream interpreter Peninah Katz, who was last seen holding Beatrice’s prized Maltese terrier. Perhaps Adelaide underestimated Peninah’s gifts. Perhaps the woman is more powerful than she knows. For magic is alive and well in the city—but so is evil.
