Calendula is the oldest black coven in the nation, brandishing more than 300 years of magical power. Founded in 1694, Tituba Valley, Massachusetts is home to the world’s biggest game changers and influencers who just happen to be witches, specifically, African American witches. The women of the coven are at the top of their game, and have been running things for centuries. Heck, they even helped the nation’s first woman gain the US presidency. But not everyone’s a fan, and just like others over the years, some folks want to take them down. When a mysterious force threatens their magic, the witches are more vulnerable than ever. And if they don’t get on the same page, they will lose their magic forever.

Elijah, a black man from Louisiana, changes the course of his life when he escapes the putrid rice fields and hops aboard a steamer during the 1800s. California is where he seeks freedom. Halyn Hallowell, a long-time, present-day resident of the now, two hundred-year old Harvey Dell City, has seen and heard just about everything. Or so she thinks.

PRE ORDER CHICORY NOW!

In the early 1900s, Georgia Allen leaves The Field, a former plantation on the outskirts of Rome, Georgia, to travel to Chicago. A wealthy man goes missing. A house is built for reluctant and retiring whores. A greedy thief hides in plain sight. Fires are set just as soon as they are extinguished. And a secret columnist knows the truth about it all. Members of a matriarch’s family enter and exit the world with secrets pressed down into the earth deeper than Georgia clay. Yet, little by little, parts of a checkered past emerge like bodies floating up from the murky waters of the Chicago River.

By the 1950s, Georgia’s only daughter produces three of her own female children. All filled with the same grit as their grandmother, each woman is given a chance at redemption. Mysteries surface and unravel as newer kinfolk sort through remnants of a past dead, buried, and left for dead.
