Rage burns brighter than any spellfire ...
Deep in the birchwoods of Norway, magic courses through the veins of two sisters. For years they've been alone, but sweet-tempered Kaija is tired of living in shadows and longs for a life filled with community, even if it means stifling her magic. But Minna is a witch through
and through, with wrath always simmering just below the surface. Different as they may be, both will never forget the day they were driven from their village. The day their mother burned.
When Kaija leaves to pursue a new life, Minna is left alone in the darkness of the forest. Devastated and outraged at the betrayal, Minna casts a curse to punish those who took everything from her. What she doesn't realize is that this act will incite a deadly chain of events. Soon
it will destroy everything, including the life Kaija has lovingly built. But once a witch's rage boils, regret means nothing—she can't take back what's already done.
Someone will have to burn.

      Amy Scanlon and Liz Pearce create a compelling listening experience as they perform the alternating points of view of witch sisters Kaija and Minna. Their journeys diverge when Kaija leaves their woodland home for the Norwegian seaside community of their childhood and Minna, seething with hatred for the villagers who burned their mother, remains behind. The townspeople come alive through Scanlon's characterizations, all festering in an undercurrent of suspicion and fear. Scanlon balances Kaija's gentleness and strength as she seeks belonging by hiding her power. Left alone, Minna's vengeful nature begets a curse with tragic consequences. Pearce fuels her portrayal of Minna with the young woman's emotional vulnerability and passion for her magical heritage. Complementary performances enhance the portrayals of the sisters' development and familial connection. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
