The novel “The Witch’s Call” takes place thirty years after the events described in the first part of the duology—in a modern city that lives simultaneously by the laws of industrial society and by the laws of myth. Witches are powerful beings, once ordinary women. The Inquisition is a service created to fight them, made up of both ideologues and sadists who revel in power. The Witch’s Age, which meant the triumph of witches and the end of the familiar world, is in the past. But for whom will the Witch’s Call sound?
