In Gilded Age New York, a centuries-long clash between two magical families ignites when a young witch must choose between love and loyalty, power and ambition, in this magical novel by Louisa Morgan.

In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means necessary.

This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself-and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

Praise for The Age of Witches:

"Morgan's beautifully conjured tale of three women, social mores, and the sanctity of self-determination is thoroughly enthralling." —Booklist (starred review)

"Morgan’s incantatory prose and independent-minded women will delight fans of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen with this tale of female self-realization and magical realism. A highly enjoyable read." —Historical Novel Society

"An Austen-esque romance, a heart-racing mystery full of dangerous twists and an anxiety-inducing yet enthralling family feud....It all makes for a perfect brew." —Bookpage

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Morgan's beautifully conjured tale of three women, social mores, and the sanctity of self-determination is thoroughly enthralling."―Booklist (starred review)

"[A] robust tale of matriarchal magic in a lushly depicted Gilded Age New York....Readers will root for these powerful women as they struggle to overcome the social limitations of their time, whether through magic or force of personality."―Publishers Weekly

"A compelling tale of love and magic in historic America and England....This is a must-read for those who like magic, love and a little bit of feel-good feminism."―Library Journal

"Morgan’s incantatory prose and independent-minded women will delight fans of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen with this tale of female self-realization and magical realism. A highly enjoyable read." ―Historical Novel Society

"An Austen-esque romance, a heart-racing mystery full of dangerous twists and an anxiety-inducing yet enthralling family feud....It all makes for a perfect brew."―Bookpage

"The strength of Morgan's powerful story is her depiction of this time and place and the everyday struggles of determined women. A great choice for readers who enjoy novels by Alice Hoffman and Barbara Kingsolver."―Booklist on The Witch's Kind

"Family, love, and ultimately personal strength. Fans of Morgan's The Secret History of Witches will appreciate this latest installment, and newcomers will be equally enchanted."―Historical Novel Society on The Witch's Kind

"Morgan's transportive words will sweep you away to a time of magic, love, and loss. Simply hold on and enjoy this mesmerizing ride."―Tish Thawer, award-winning author of The Witches of BlackBrook series, on A Secret History of Witches

"Epic in scope and heartbreakingly tender in its portrayal of mothers and daughters... Recommended for fans of Nora Roberts and readers of feminist fantasy."―Booklist on A Secret History of Witches

"I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic if it had been set in various time periods, but much more expansive in scope. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time."―Laure Eve, author of The Graces, on A Secret History of Witches

interesting story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 28, 2023

I enjoy fantasy books from time to time and this was a light read and fun Although interesting, I do tire a bit from seeing 21st century feminism infused into an era where this just didn’t exist. That romanticism may make the story more palatable for women reading it from this era, but makes the storyline less genuine.

Intriguing and immersive.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2020

Great read. If you liked The Nightingale, The Two Marias, or The Book Thief, you'll definitely like this one. This is a story of three generations of witches and two different types of magic. They are all descended from Bridget Bishop who was executed for witchcraft during the Salem Witch Era. Furious at her fate, she vowed to watch over her descendants and through them punish all men who think they can control women.

This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

Bravo. I love these books by Louisa Morgan. I saw a lot of reviews that comment on how slow they are…maybe to them, but not to me. I love the detail. I feel so immersed in her stories. I want to be friends with her characters. In fact, it kind of breaks my heart that they are fictional. Sigh…

I love this book ! The witches are powerful and their strengths are many. The details of the story are quite exquisite. The author truly captures the time and place for her readers. The charcters are fascinating and captured this reader. Louise Morgan is one of my favorite authors and I cannot wait to read her next book. This was so beautifully crafted that it was enjoyable cover to cover. Review cross posted. A most excellent highly recommended read. Intriguing and immersive. If you liked The Nightingale , The Two Marias , or The Book Thief , you'll definitely like this one. OMG. Let's be clear: this is a must read.

Good read but wish there was more at stake

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was very well written and I laughed a couple times, which was nice. The author has an excellent way of making every scene flow together quite nicely. I loved the cantrips that they would speak and I thought it was very interesting to see how the author dealt with the magic aspects. I also thought that the author did an excellent job of showing how little power women had in their own right during the time period. And I loved how Annis was considered differently by several characters. Some saw her insistence on being independent as a hindrance, while others thought her way of thinking “fresh and novel.”
My gripes are that the characters, at times, felt like they weren’t fully fleshed out. Maybe it’s because I’m used to reading a book series where the author has the time to go into each character’s back story in-depth. Also, I thought that the fact that everything tied up nice and neat for Annis was a little boring. Nothing was ever truly at stake, as the main character got everything she ever wanted. Most readers want that in a story, but I just find it a little dull.
All in all, it was a good read that kept my attention throughout and I would certainly recommend it.

Excellent!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2022

I have read 2 of her books and they are both just great. Well edited, full of Magick (not the stage magician kind….real Magick), strong women struggling to control their own lives in a patriarchal society, no graphic sex, and no cliffhanger endings. I don’t have her third book yet…but, getting it soon. Highly recommend this author! Perfect for curling up in a chair with a blanket and a cup of tea on a cold winter morning…. Extremely hard to put down and stop reading when you need to continue with daily activities.

not quite historical romance, not quite witch-flavored exploration of women's power

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

3.5 stars, actually

So this one is billed as a historical romance on Amazon and it indeed has some of the outward trappings of a historical romance; an impoverished marquess, an american heiress who wants to breed horses, a initial meeting that doesn't go well, and the required HEA.

However, those trappings are a glaze on a cake of a story mostly detailing how two cousin witches pound herbs, clip nails, drop drips of blood into wax to wield their family magic on men in the story.

So going into this book, if it was a historical novel about all that witch history and a deeper exploration into the ways the Bishop family magic can be used for good or ill, and seen the workings of that magic become a method of self-actualization in a time when women were more or less owned by men, that would have been awesome. However, the book's stance on using magic to influence men is very preachy---and then inconsistent in my opinion. The "good" cousin witch Harriet condemns the "bad" cousin Frances for using magic to gain the affections of a man, but then turns around and does a similar thing herself for her niece, Annis. So...wasn't sure the message really was conveyed in the character arc/plot.

Or if I went into the book believing all the trope indications of historical romance, and then the book lingered on the actual repartee and emotional connection between the marquess and Annis, that would have been awesome too. There is 0 level of steam, the book spends more time on Annis and the marquesses' mother's relationship in terms of emotional attachment, and over relies on the magic for connection in the first place. The marquess' willingness to cross an ocean and marry Annis with or without her fortune is supposed to be "proof" he isn't influence by Frances' magic any more, but really I felt that result could easily be leftover magic so really, really missed the development of the relationship.

So I was left dissatisfied in the end due to the lack of actual historical romance relationship and somewhat contradictory approach to the potentially interesting exploration of morals as expressed by the Bishop women's access to powers in a usually stifling society. Ah well. So discovered this author not to my personal taste.
