A young witch, Lydia, learns about a powerful dark grimoire that a coven helping Hitler hopes to find. Lydia knows if they find it, the war, and likely the world, is lost, so she goes in search of it herself. This is an absolutely smashing debut: engrossing story, very well crafted, and utterly unputdownable. I just loved it!
