About this listen

An investigative journalist uncovers the haunting secret history of her own ancestors in a bewitching novel by the bestselling author of Daughters of the Lake.

When Cassie Graves discovers her husband’s affair, it’s enough to chip away at the foundation of her life. But after researching her family’s Italian ancestry, it completely crumbles beneath her.

Her grandmother Gia’s often-told stories about the past are a lie. Her much-romanticized great-grandfather Giovanni may not even have existed. Most alarming of all, it appears her mysterious great-grandmother Violetta died by stregoneria—witchcraft. Now, piecing together the puzzle of her family tree in the small, centuries-old hill town of Santo Stefano, Cassie finds help from a welcoming group of locals: the accommodating Renzo; Dante, whose own family history connects with Cassie’s; and the ethereal Luna, an interpreter of dreams who gives Cassie a protective amulet—and the warning that she may have walked into a trap.

When Cassie comes upon an old spell book, she gets closer to unearthing long-buried family secrets, the truth about a powerful female lineage, and the haunting discovery of who she really is.

Critic reviews

“An impressively original and simply riveting read from start to finish.”—Midwest Book Review

Love all of Wendy Webb’s books but hate the narration, her voice is ( for me) just dull and makes everyone sound like a 1950’s cowboy film!

Love the story

The incarnations, It’s so dark!! I goggled Port Santo Stephano and it really exists, just added it to bucket list. Story was well written and narrator Xe brought out the story to life. I recommend you get lost in beautiful Italy with the Characters.

I love listening to witches characters.

A very catchy story well told. Seriously hard to put down. Loveable characters. Also love the way Xe Sands the narrator tells the story.

Brilliant

A book can be good, as this one is. But it can be made outstanding by the narrator and this one truly is.
Xe Sands has featured in quite a few of Wendy's books and she puts so much feeling into the narration that it just elevates the story to a higher level.
I now find that I not only search for authors that I enjoy, I also look for narrators and if Xe is reading the story, I'll buy it.
Sadly, I have read and or listened to all of Wendy's books so far. I am so looking forward to the next one and I hope Xe is narrating it..

Another Triumph for Wendy and also for Xe
