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 ofThe 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. "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 of The Measure 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. 538 $a Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 314470 KB). 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Fantasy. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Literature. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a St. John, Michelle. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=8987023 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=7c7f61b9-a303-4037-9e71-cb3159bc00b3&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0293-1/%7B7C7F61B9-A303-4037-9E71-CB3159BC00B3%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0293-1/%7B7C7F61B9-A303-4037-9E71-CB3159BC00B3%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/7c7f61b9-a303-4037-9e71-cb3159bc00b3 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230204010130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BE77F38A45911EDA94333522DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
