Giant's Causeway transformed into magical city in new novel by Belfast author Margaret McMahon

Well, according to a new novel by Belfast author Margaret McMahon that is!

Margaret’s debut novel ‘Crescent Witches’ is the story of two sisters Amelia and Georgette Crescent, both witches, living across a magical veil hidden from the human world.

The witches live in Belfast’s Albert Clock but the novel also takes them to various Northern Ireland landmarks including Carrickfergus Castle which is a school for magic and the Giant’s Causeway which is a magical city where every hexagonal stone is a house.

After years of peace, the Crescent sisters are forced to fight against an evil foe who reappears. Described as a ‘haunting Belfast tale', the book is published by Shanway Press in Belfast.

A former florist who also worked in an Irish language school, Margaret will launch her book in the shadow of the Albert Clock in Belfast on April 2.
