A witch discovers that finding your way home is sometimes the most perilous journey of all.
1922. Brigid Heron is a powerful witch and healer in the seemingly lost, but charming small town of Evermore on a forgotten isle in Ireland. However, there is one thing that she longs for above all else: a child of her own. She is even willing to be seduced by the mysterious Luc Knightly, head of the Knightly coven, whose pull is potent and impossible to resist. When their child is born and falls ill, Brigid will risk anything to save her daughter–even tap into the forbidden magic of the Lough of Brionglóid. But when the wild magic takes her daughter from her, Brigid is swept away as well.
2022. Evermore is under siege. The witches of Knight have been using their chaos magic to widen the rift between the island and the Otherworld. Creatures from folklore prey on the villagers, consuming their very humanity. Brigid awakens in this world with no memory of how she traveled into the future, but she learns that she helped unleash this curse on Evermore. To seal the lough and stop the witches of Knight, she must work with her magical descendants, Ophelia and Finola. But the knowledge she seeks lies with Luc Knightly himself—mysterious, handsome, and powerful. To save Evermore, Brigid may have to lose everything once again.
Author Paige Crutcher's The Lost Witch is a story that takes readers from 1922 Evermore, Ireland, to 2022 Evermore where darkness has overcome the town, and residents are turning into monster like creatures. 33-year old Brigid Heron is a powerful witch and healer in the charming small town of Evermore on a forgotten isle in Ireland. However, there is one thing that she longs for above all else: a child of her own. She is even willing to be seduced by the mysterious Luc Knightly, head of the Knightly coven, whose pull is potent and impossible to resist.
When her Dove is born and falls ill, Brigid risks anything, including offending the Goddess Brighid, to save her; even tap into the forbidden magic of the Lough of Brionglóid. But when the wild magic takes her daughter from her, Brigid is swept away as well. 100 years later, Brigid wakes up in the year 2022. She is back in Evermore but the town is under siege. The witches of Knight, who she has a history with, have been using their chaos magic to widen the rift between the island and the Otherworld. Creatures from folklore prey on the villagers, consuming their very humanity.
She also learns that Evermore is cursed so that nobody can enter, or leave. Brigid has no memory of how she traveled into the future, but she learns that she helped unleash this curse on Evermore when she tried to save Dove. She also learns that she has magical descendants like Ophelia Gallagher, and Finola McEntire who have carried on her line and have been living in her house keeping Brigid's memory alive.
To seal the lough and stop the
witches of Knight, she must work with her kin, as well as the mysterious, handsome, and powerful Luc Knightly
himself to save Evermore, or lose everything once again, including a chance to save her daughter, and make right wrongs committed against her Goddess. You understand Knightly better the more Brigid remembers and I think it will shock you to understand that he and Brigid were meant to be together. I, however, would have liked to have more of a reunion between mother and Dove who has her own story to tell.
