"In the second installment of Juno Dawson's 'irresistable' fantasy trilogy (Lana Harper), a group of childhood friends and witches must choose between what is right and what is easy if they have any hope of keeping their coven--and their world--from tearing apart forever. Niamh Kelly is dead. Her troubled twin, Ciara, now masquerades as the benevolent witch as Her Majesty's Royal Coven prepares to crown her High Preistess. Suffering from amnesia, Ciara can't remember what she's done--but if she wants to survive, she must fool Niamh's adopted family and friends; the coven; and the murky Shadow Cabinet--a secret group of mundane civil servants who are already suspicious of witches. While she tries to rebuild her past, she realizes none of her past has forgotten her, including her former lover, renegade warlock Dabney Hale. On the other end of the continent, Leonie Jackman is in search of Hale, rumored to be seeking a dark object of ultimate power somehow connected to the upper echelons of the British government. If the witches can't figure out Hale's machinations, and fast, all of witchkind will be in grave danger--along with the fate of all (wo)mankind. Sharp, funny, provocative, and joyous, Juno Dawson's sequel reimagines everything you think you knew about her coven and her witches in a story that spans continents and dives deep into the roots of England and its witchcraft. Ciara, Leonie, Elle, and Theo are fierce, angry, sexy, warm--and absolutely unapologetic as they fight for what they believe in, all in the name of sisterhood"--

Rezensionen
MORE PRAISE FOR HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL COVEN

'Superb and almost unbearably charming' THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'fast-paced and impossible to put down [...] over the course of the two books I started to think of the characters as new friends.' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

'Talk about a gut punch of a novel. ...A provocative exploration of intersectional feminism, loyalty, gender and transphobia [that] invites readers into an intricately woven web of magic, friendship, and power' THE NERD DAILY

'A shimmering, irresistible cauldron's brew of my favourite things: a thrilling, witchy plot; a diverse, compelling, and beautifully drawn cast; complex relationships with real heart; laugh-out-loud banter; and the kind of dazzling magic I wish existed. You won't be able to put it down'

Lana Harper, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PAYBACK'S A WITCH

'Dawson, in an impressive flex, uses the rules of the fantasy genre to make a statement about people of colour and LGBTQ individuals and how organizations can exclude and ignore them. Readers who enjoy witches and watching change ripple through a culture will enjoy this series' BOOKLIST (starred)

'Dawson's conversational, matter-of-fact tone calls to mind writers like Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones; it's at times funny, at others heartbreaking, but always perfectly calibrated...A thoughtful entry into the witch canon that intrigues and challenges as much as it delights' BOOKPAGE

'Look, if the idea of a story about a group of girls living in an alternate England and working for a centuries-old secret government bureau of witches doesn't grab you immediately, I don't know what to tell you' PASTE

'Cleverly constructed...Readers will be eager for the next instalment' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
