Publisher Description
In the third in the “spellbinding” (Seanan McGuire) series from the author of the Calliope Reaper-Jones novels, magic has been loosed upon the world—and the consequences could destroy all of humanity, magical and non-magical alike...
Lyse MacAllister used to be like everyone else—blissfully ignorant of magic, of the dire battles being fought in shadows and secrecy. But that was before her great-aunt Eleanora died, leaving her in control of the Echo Park coven; before she found herself in the middle of the witches’ clash with the anti-magic zealots known as The Flood; before her blood sisters lost their faith in her.
As The Flood begins turning humans across the globe against the witches, Lyse must find a way to regain the trust of her former magical family and once again unify them. Because the final battle between good and evil is looming—and if the witches don’t stand together, all of humankind could be lost...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Untrained witch Lyse MacAllister and her coven gather their remaining powers to take on the evil antimagical organization known as the Flood in the somewhat muddled conclusion to Benson's contemporary paranormal Witches of Echo Park trilogy. The coven was able to shut down the Flood's secret subterranean laboratory in Nevada, where torturous experiments were inflicted on captured witches, but they'll need bigger magic to stop the Flood's worldwide witch hunts. With the assistance of the ghosts of the coven's former leaders, Lyse must gather her courage, ignore her own self-doubt, and dig deeply into the Dream Lands and her own family history to find the key to defeating the Flood. Even fans may have trouble keeping track of the large cast and multiple side plots. When things do eventually come together, the swift resolution feels a bit disappointing. But some readers will be more than satisfied to see that everything depends on family ties, a recurring theme throughout.
