    Robin Wildwood is settling into her new role as Head Witch… kind of. At least her squirrel familiar, Tansy, is enjoying their return to her childhood home of Wildwood Heath. Between lectures from her grandmother's ghost and the pressure to live up to her family's high expectations, Robin hopes for some light relief when she's invited to attend a retirement party with the local Sky Hopper team - especially when it gives her an excuse to spend time with Harvey, her old crush and the current team captain. But when the party's host chokes to death unexpectedly, the blame lands on none other than Harvey himself. 
    Robin is keen to prove Harvey's innocence, but defending her would-be boyfriend from a murder accusation is tricky when her over-achieving older brother happens to be the head of the local police force and the person with the power to decide Harvey's fate. If they lose their captain, the Sky Hopper team will have to hang up their broomsticks for good, but the world of professional magical sports is as scheming as any of the covens and everyone seems to have secrets. 
    Can Robin navigate this bumpy flight and catch the real killer before Harvey finds himself behind bars?

    The “devastatingly powerful” first novel in the acclaimed classic science fiction series The Holdfast Chronicles, from the award-winning author (The Washington Post). 
     
    Winner of the James Tiptree, Jr. Award 
     
    Walk to the End of the World begins Suzy McKee Charnas’s incomparable epic tale of men and women, slavery and freedom, power and human frailty. 
     
    In a post-apocalyptic world, Alldera the Messenger is a slave among the Fems, in thrall to men whose own power is waning, until she escapes and is saved by a tribe of women whose strength and courage sustain her. Walk to the End of the World is old-school feminist science fiction at its most prophetic. 
     
    “Only one science fiction book in hundreds manages to convince the reader that it ever could have happened anywhere, and at least that few are worth reading at all. [Charnas has] created a future that is once believable and fascinating” —William S. Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch 
     
    “One of the best books I’ve read this year.” —Dorothy Allison, New York Times–bestselling author of Bastard Out of Carolina

Something has been living in the oil, and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat humanity has ever seen.
