In this society, paranoia is well-suited because eyes and ears are all around, and they are judging. Always judging. This terrifying (and yet somehow vaguely familiar) terrain is explored via Eleanor - a young woman eagerly learning about the gifts of her magic through the support of her coven. But being a white witch is not as easy as they portray it in the books, and she's already been placed under 'house arrest' with a letch named Stan, a co-worker who wronged her in the past and now exists in the form of a cat. A talking cat who loves craft beers, picket lines, and duping and 'shooting' people. Eleanor has no time for Stan and his shenanigans, because she finds herself helping another coven locate a missing witch which she thinks is mysteriously linked to the shortage of water in Liberty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFantasy, Crime and mystery fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaren Heuler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e280 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH: 216mm W: 135mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angry Robot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42508008718486,"sku":"9780857669858","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4978\/0118\/products\/jacket---2023-03-09T163711-751.jpg?v=1678333093","url":"https:\/\/www.tawabooksandpost.co.nz\/products\/the-splendid-city","provider":"Tawa Books \u0026 Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
