If the wind calls at night, you must not listen.
In the isolated town of Near, children are warned to fear the wind and the witches who once walked the moor. But when a stranger appears outside Lexi’s window—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—the stories she grew up with no longer feel like just tales.
Then the children of Near begin to vanish from their beds, and the mysterious boy becomes the town’s prime suspect. Determined to find the truth, Lexi follows whispers across the heathered hills and uncovers a power as old as the wind itself.
V. E. Schwab’s The Near Witch is a haunting debut of myth and memory, where love and fear intertwine like shadows beneath a restless sky.
