Believe

by Jillian A

Bloodrunner Sheila Sullivan’s warrior instinct is pushed to the limit when she discovers that her cousin, Farrah Emerson, is pregnant with a silver witch. Long-considered myth by modern-day practitioners of the craft, the powerful silver witches were allegedly wiped out in an ancient battle for control of the Otherworld. The return of a silver witch can mean only one thing – that the legendary Otherworld Wars have commenced once more, and this time with the Chicago Coven at the very heart of the conflict. The arrival of a mysterious, enervated sorcerer, Mitch Valentine, further complicates Sheila’s plight when she uncovers that he is her beloved anamchara. For the first time in her life, Sheila’s loyalty to her coven is challenged by her primal need to be with her one true love.

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.
