Widdershins is a 2006 urban fantasy novel by Canadian writer Charles De Lint, set in the Newford universe.

[1] It continues the events of the 2001 novel The Onion Girl, where Jilly was left partially paralyzed and her relationship with Geordie unfulfilled.

"[2] The term is used in the novel when Timony tells Jilly that the way to enter the croí baile is to walk widdershins around an object of power.

Odawa enlists a gang of bogans (a type of fairy) to hunt down Grey, a cousin who accidentally blinded him many years earlier.

Because Grey rescues an innocent bystander named Lizzie from the bogans, they assume —incorrectly— that she is romantically involved with him, and they begin stalking her, which leads her to talk to Jilly.

The priest banishes Timony, a magical little man accompanying them, from the croí baile before he gets a chance to explain to Jilly that she can take control of the place as long as she believes she can.

Jilly decides to return to the croí baile and confront Del again, realizing it is the only way she can put the wounds from her past behind her.

Leaving the house, she is met by many friendly characters from her childhood, who inform her that she is become the Conjurer (the one with power over the croí baile) now that Del has been defeated.

Confronted by Odawa outside Lucius's place, Grey persuades him to postpone their feud to deal with the buffalo problem.

The increasingly remorseful bogan Rabedy summons Anwatan's spirit, telling her that he was part of the gang that killed her, that he wants her help in talking Minisino out of the coming rampage, and that he intends to give himself up.

Anwatan meets Joe in the afterlife and agrees to bring him back on the condition that he protect Rabedy from harm.
