"Once I opened VenCo, I was propelled through an entire night of
charmed reading. Cherie Dimaline creates a world utterly
fantastical, yet real. VenCo is funny, tense, and cracking with a
dark, divine energy." ---Louise Erdrich, New York Times bestselling
author of The Sentence For fans of The Once and Future Witches and
Practical Magic, comes an incredibly imaginative, highly
anticipated new novel featuring witches, magic, and a road trip
across America--from Cherie Dimaline, the critically acclaimed
author of Empire of Wild. Métis millennial Lucky St. James is
barely hanging on when she learns she'll be evicted from the tiny
Toronto apartment she shares with her cantankerous but loving
grandmother Stella. But then one night, something strange and
irresistible calls out to Lucky. She burrows through a wall to find
a tarnished silver spoon, humming with otherworldly energy, etched
with a crooked-nosed witch and the word SALEM. Lucky is familiar
with the magic of her indigenous ancestors, but she has no idea
that the spoon connects her to a teeming network of witches across
North America who have anxiously awaited her discovery. Enter
VenCo, a front company fueled by vast resources of dark money (its
name is an anagram of "coven.") VenCo's witches hide in plain sight
wherever women gather: Tupperware parties, Mommy & Me classes,
suburban book clubs. Since colonial times, they have awaited the
moment the seven spoons will come together and ignite a new era,
returning women to their rightful power. But as reckoning
approaches, a very powerful adversary is stalking their every move.
He's Jay Christos, a roguish and deadly witch-hunter as old as
witchcraft itself. To find the last spoon, Lucky and Stella embark
on a rollicking and dangerous road trip to the darkly magical city
of New Orleans, where the final showdown will determine whether
VenCo will usher in a new beginning...or remain underground
forever. A wildly imaginative and compulsively readable fantasia of
adventure, history, Americana, feminism, and magic, VenCo is a
novel only the supremely gifted Cherie Dimaline could write.
"Crackling with magic, mystery, adventure, and intrigue, VenCo is a
captivating tribute to the bonds of families we are born into and
the ones that we create, and a delightful testament to the power of
all womankind."-- Nikki Erlick, New York Times bestselling author
