Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft
Description
"This powerful and diverse collection is perfect for fans of female-led fantasy stories. No damsels in distress to be found here." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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! Featuring stories by: Tehlor Kay Mejia Andrea Robertson Tess Sharpe Lindsay Smith Brandy Colbert Shveta Thakrar Robin Talley Nova Ren Suma Zoraida Córdova Brenna Yovanoff Kate Hart Jessica Spotswood Anna-Marie McLemore Emery Lord Elizabeth May "This collection brings together short, witchy stories from fifteen brilliant YA authors . . . It's a whole lot of magical fun, and a definite must-read for all the witches in your life." -Bustle "The collective impact is undeniably resounding." -Booklist (starred review) "[A] provocative, eclectic collection." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
