Bleed

by Jillian A

Farrah Emerson is a witch with a 1,000-year-old problem - when she casts a spell calling for the return of her erstwhile, immortal lover, she accidentally summons the wrong vampire. The unintentional invitation rekindles an ancient feud, making Farrah and her coven the targets of a vengeful sanguisuge and an enemy clan of witches. She and her family must leverage their magical heritage to break the curse of eternal life before they are consumed in a bloodthirsty battle for revenge.

About the author

Jillian is the author of The Chicago Coven Trilogy, an urban fantasy series based on a coven of witches living in contemporary Chicago.

In 2008, she learned that her family was descended from some of the earliest recorded witches in medieval England. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells of the Ægleswuore clan who practiced the pin-pricking of totems, a form of magic forbidden at the time. After being found guilty of the crime of witchcraft, the Ægleswuore matriarch was put to death by drowning at London Bridge.

Captivated by this ancestral lore, Jillian started researching the history of witchcraft and its transcendence into modern day times. She did not travel far down this winding, mysterious path before her imagination began to weave the plot for Bleed, the first book in the trilogy. She spent the next three years creating the magical world of the Chicago Coven and writing her first novel.
