SUMMARY:A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES: Morgan Ryan in conversation with Greta Kelly
DESCRIPTION:“A witchy war-time delight!” –Kate Quinn\, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club\nWith World War II raging around her\, a young witch abandoned by her coven must race against the clock to find a book of unspeakable power before it lands in the hands of Hitler’s witches. With deeply felt stakes and characters you can’t help rooting for\, “A Resistance of Witches” is a propulsive witchy novel perfect for your summer reading.\nJoin Morgan Ryan\, debut author of “A Resistance of Witches” on Wednesday\, July 16th at 7pm at Blue House Books as she discusses her historical witchy novel with local fantasy author\, Greta Kelly!\n*A $5 deposit is required to reserve your seat\, and that $5 can be used on any in-store transaction the night of the event only.\nPurchase the reservation deposit here: https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/WIdogLxePUmcNq1YaaG-og\n\nAbout A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES:\nAs World War II rages around her\, a witch abandoned by her coven must journey to find a book of unspeakable power before it lands in Nazi hands.\nStubborn\, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family\, Lydia Polk never expected to be accepted into the Royal Academy of Witches. Now\, with Hitler’s army rampaging across Europe\, the witches of Britain have joined the war effort\, and Lydia is key to the cause: she must use her magic to track down magical relics before Hitler and his sycophants can. When a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences\, the coven is left shaken\, exposed and divided. The elder British witches have no interest in further loss of coven life in service of a government that has forced them into hiding for decades\, no matter the consequences to the world. But with the discovery of the Grimorium Bellum\, an ancient book that leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes\, Lydia knows her mission has never been more urgent.\nAlone and woefully outnumbered\, Lydia makes her way to the heart of occupied France\, where she finds allies in Rebecca Gagne—a fierce French resistance fighter chockful of secrets—and Henry Boudreaux—a handsome Haitian American art historian with a little magic of his own. Together\, they traverse the country\, stalked by the natural and supernatural alike\, in search of the grimoire. But\, as Lydia soon discovers\, finding the book is only half the battle—the Grimorium Bellum has a dark agenda all its own. Lydia must subdue it before the Witches of the Third Reich can use it—but she’ll have to survive the book herself\, first.\n\nAbout MORGAN RYAN:\nMorgan Ryan is the author of stories born from a lifelong love of magic\, a fixation on historical minutiae that borders on the obsessive\, and a tendency to fall down rabbit-holes. She was raised in a family of writers in upstate New York and received her degree in theatre performance from Northeastern University. She now lives in Chicago with her husband. “A Resistance of Witches” is her first novel.\n\nAbout GRETA KELLY:\nGreta K. Kelly is (probably) not a witch\, death or otherwise\, but she can still be summoned with offerings of too-beautiful-to-use journals and Butterfingers candy. She currently lives in Wisconsin with her husband EJ\, daughters Lorelei and Nadia who are doing their level-best to take over the world.\nThe Warrior Witch duology\, consisting of “The Frozen Crown” and its sequel “The Seventh Queen” are both out now. Greta’s third novel\, “The Queen of Days”\, a stand-alone adult fantasy is also out now.\n\n\nCost: $5\nevent website: Events 2220420250716 | Blue House Books\nFacebook link: A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES: Morgan Ryan in conversation with Greta Kelly | Facebook
