A Time of Witches Author: Madeline MartinPage Count: UnknownPublication Date: Expected publication 2026-09-01 APL Anticipated Release: A Time of Witches by Madeline Martin Historical fiction enthusiasts and fans of atmospheric drama, mark your calendars. New York Times bestselling author Madeline Martin is set to return with a spellbinding new novel, A Time of Witches, scheduled for publication on September 1, 2026. Known for her meticulously researched and emotionally resonant storytelling, Martin is once again diving into the past, this time weaving a tale of generational connection, historical persecution, and the enduring power of women's voices. If you loved her previous bestsellers that transport readers to richly detailed historical landscapes, this upcoming release promises to be another unputdownable journey. While the exact page count remains under wraps as we approach publication, the publisher's initial synopsis gives us plenty of intriguing details to look forward to. The novel spans centuries, anchored by two distinct women bound by blood, betrayal, and danger. In the present day, Lilith Legare is watching her life unravel following her mother’s death. Unexplained phenomena begin to manifest around her—plants responding to her touch, animals lingering near her, and a tingling birthmark on her arm—alongside terrifying recurring nightmares of being burned alive at the stake. Her quest for answers pulls her from Savannah to England, leading her to the decaying Brackenmere Manor, where the boundary between past and present dissolves and a dangerous legacy comes to light. Meanwhile, stepping back to 1645 Suffolk, we meet Sybil Brantham, an educated and wealthy widow accused of witchcraft. In a society where independent women are viewed as threats, Sybil must navigate a climate of rising suspicion and arrest while fighting to protect her younger sister against betrayal from within her own household. Across the centuries, Lilith and Sybil share a perilous connection. To survive, both women must confront the silence that has suppressed female power for generations and finally claim their voices. With Martin's proven talent for bringing history to vivid, emotional life, A Time of Witches is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated historical fiction releases of 2026. Keep an eye out for preorder links as we get closer to September. #MadelineMartin #ATimeOfWitches #HistoricalFiction #WitchFiction #BookPreview #HistoricalDrama
