Charmed: The War on Witches

Having won the ultimate battle against the forces of darkness, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige—The Charmed Ones— are looking forward to a hard-earned, peaceful future. But when Phoebe’s former love, Cole, returns from the dead and the sisters are reunited with Prue, now imprisoned at the magical convergence between the realms, a dangerous new threat emerges.
As seemingly normal mortals violently steal the magic of witches, The Charmed Ones must shield their kind while protecting themselves from a modern-day witch hunt.
Charmed: The War on Witches continues the story of the Halliwell witches, picking up where the hit television series, Charmed, left off. With only the Book of Shadows to guide them, the Halliwell sisters are the fulfillment of their ancestor Melinda Warren’s prophecy that three sisters descending from her line would become the most powerful witches of all time. As The Charmed Ones, the sisters use the Power of Three to protect the innocent and banish evil from the Earthly realm.

Freed from her underground tomb, Medusa reluctantly joins her own sisters in a crusade to avenge womankind, turning those who cross her to stone forever.

Charmed: Social Medium

When Phoebe begins to have recurring nightmares of being followed down a dark and unfamiliar street, Piper and Paige try to help her understand whether these dreams are just dreams, or a premonition warning her of danger soon to come. After inserting her waking conscience into her dream, Phoebe soon finds that she has no control over its outcome, because it’s not her dream. It’s not even a dream. It’s real, and it’s about to go down.

Working together with their sister, Prue, and the reformed ex-demon Cole-who’s sworn to protect her and the magic of the Nexus - the Halliwell’s find themselves in a race to save the life of a witch with a special ability to communicate with the dead. With sinister forces at work, will the sisters be able to save this witch before dream becomes reality?

Inspired by the hit televisions series Charmed, the new novel Charmed: Social Medium continues the story of the Halliwell witches. With only the Book of Shadows to guide them, the Halliwell sisters are the fulfillment of their ancestor Melinda Warren’s prophecy that three sisters descending from her line would become the most powerful witches of all time. The sisters use the Power of Three to protect the innocent and banish evil from the Earthly realm.
  • The Charmed Ones investigate a witch using social media to reveal her powers to the world.
  • Described by Pat Shand as "a big sort of fun summer movie type Charmed story","super different from Season 10"
  • The novel is "told through Phoebe’s eyes. And Cole’s. There will be a "strong focus on both characters. It’s third-person, but they’re each the lead character in their own plots."
  • It is "very Phoebe-centric" and"a lot of it is about Phoebe’s power and what it says about her."
  • A new witch named Amelia Desmots is introduced. She is a Medium. Amelia appeared in issues 18-20 of Charmed Season 10.
  • An old villain that hasn't appeared in Season 10 returns.
  • At one point Piper says: "Well, at least you got a bat mitzvah for Whitley out of the deal"
  • Pat Shand on the novel's ending: "the ending of Social Medium was a full out battle. It was this huge all out brawl. It was like the Endgame battle at Prue’s Nexus of the All."
