Inhaltsangabe

This extraordinary collection of fifteen stories celebrates witches using their power and claiming their destinies.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN A WITCH WHO BELIEVES IN HERSELF.

Women accused of witchcraft. Fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features fifteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies, and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure, to kill…and to live. 

A young witch uses social media to connect with her astrology clients—and with a NASA-loving girl as cute as she is skeptical. A priestess of death investigates a ritualized murder. A bruja who cures lovesickness might need the remedy herself when she falls for an altar boy. A theater production is turned upside down by a visiting churel. A water witch uses her magic to survive the soldiers who have invaded her desert oasis. And in the near future, a group of girls accused of witchcraft must find their collective power…and destroy their captors.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A TEEN WITCH!

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Women accused of witchcraft throughout history were often educated, independent, unmarried, and unwilling to fall in line with traditional societal expectations. This anthology contains 16 diverse witchy tales from feminist authors and reveals a universal truth: there's nothing more powerful that a teenage girl who believes in herself.
