About this eBook
From Cuba to the Florida Keys, a nineteenth century witch embarks on a dangerous journey of revelation in the final novel of this acclaimed trilogy.
Summoned from self-imposed exile in the Florida territory, hermaphroditic witch Herculine sails to Havana to find the cruel and demonic Queverdo Brù—and to learn of a certain “surprise.” But lies and truths conspire to separate Herculine from those she loves, and she finds herself alone with Brù, who sees in her something he has long sought to use in that most ancient of arts: alchemy.
Escaping Brù, Herculine reunited with Sebastiana in the Florida Keys. And there she meets her “surprise”—the shocking product of a forbidden encounter ten years prior. On Key West, they set out to make their fortune—by means magical or otherwise—as Herculine is tested at every turn by the harsh landscape and haunted by thoughts of her own demise.
With The Witchery, James Reese brings to a close a remarkable trilogy—a story told by a character who “invades our consciousness” (Tampa Tribune) and set in “the heady atmosphere of a bygone era brought deftly to life” (Eric Van Lustbader).
