Welcome to today’s stop on the blog tour to mark the publication in November of The December Witches, the final book in the A Month of Magic trilogy. This series blends family relationships, magic and Arthurian legend in exciting adventures that will appeal to lovers of fantasy. With the arrival of the movie version of Wicked I have a feeling the demand for stories featuring witches will be high so this is well timed.

In this final book Clemmie celebrates her 13th birthday but her special day is marred by magic going wrong in a dramatic fashion. She discovers that she has been chosen to be the One True Witch and struggles with this concept. There is chaos as she and the other young hags endeavour to stand up to the ancient powers. In order to survive she must release the magic that is overwhelming her and threatening her very existence. The importance of family bonds despite loss and difficulty is threaded through the magic and excitement of this dramatic finale to the series.

Jennifer Claessen and her publishers have kindly shared a chapter from The December Witches today which will whet your appetite to find out more.
