Sinopse

When a stranger's arrival coincides with the disappearance of children from the town of Near, many questions begin to arise. Is the legend of the Witch of Near nothing more than a myth, or merely a dormant evil? The Witch of Near is a magnetic and atmospheric novel by V.E. Schwab, one of the greatest talents of our time.

Nothing ever changes in Near. The villagers live, love, and die among themselves, always in the shadow of the incessant wind. Lexi Harris has come to terms with this and tries to combat boredom by walking the moors and visiting the Thorne sisters, the town's only witches.

However, the unexpected arrival of a stranger in Near shakes the town's peaceful foundations. Where did he come from? Why did he end up there? As if the presence of a stranger weren't enough, his arrival brings with it tragic events: the town's children begin disappearing one by one, disappearing from their beds overnight without explanation.

Intrigued by the stranger's presence and frightened by what's happening in her village, Lexi sets out to solve these mysteries. And in doing so, she'll have to confront the village's secrets and the legend of the Witch of Near. Could there be another truth behind the legend? And what could this have to do with the children's disappearance?

“A thoroughly atmospheric literary debut, where you can feel the tension from the pages, and with a hint of the sinister and the terrifying.” – Kirkus Reviews
