In Shadowstitch, Anna faces a witch hunt while trying to protect her coven and navigate her complex relationship with her sister Effie.
In Shadowstitch, the gripping sequel to the acclaimed Threadneedle, Anna faces new and terrifying challenges as she grapples with her magical abilities. After surviving an attempt to bind her powers, she finds herself haunted by her aunt's death and the weight of a curse that threatens her future. The stakes are raised when a witch hunt begins, forcing Anna to conceal her magic once again, all while navigating her complicated feelings for a man who is forever out of reach.
As hysteria grips the capital, Anna and her twin sister Effie must delve into London's magical underworld to protect their coven. Their journey is fraught with danger, as they face not only external threats but also the challenge of trust between themselves. With the witch hunt escalating and paranoia spreading, the sisters must unite their strengths to confront the perils that lie ahead.
Shadowstitch weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue, exploring themes of loyalty, love, and the burdens of power. As Anna and Effie navigate their complex relationship, they must also confront the darker sides of magic and the consequences of their choices. Will they emerge stronger together, or will the forces against them tear them apart?
