Beschreibung
A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a new family-and a new love-change the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and keeping a low profile, and she follows the rules… with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos ‚pretending‘ to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House on the cold, windy seacoast to teach three young and dangerously out of control witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets not only of her three young charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and Jamie, an extremely handsome but rather prickly librarian. For the first time, the thought of family is no longer a distant memory. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a family she didn’t know she was looking for… Story Locale: Norfolk, England
