Salem, Massachusetts, may thrive on its haunted history, but darkness lurks beneath the surface. When Skye purchases a historic home in town, her arrival awakens long-dormant powers—and an ancient birth-task. As hidden rooms, ancestral secrets, and a forgotten journal come to light, she and police officer Jerome Phips must unravel the deadly legacy that connects them both.
Across time, the druid Seabhac once sacrificed everything to imprison the darkness. His magic echoes through the centuries, intertwining with the lives of those in present-day Salem. Cassandra Raines wants nothing to do with magick, but when ritual murders, ancient curses, and a mysterious police chief crash into her life, she’s forced to confront a power she tried to suppress.
As Halloween approaches and the veil between worlds thins, the evil they thought they’d contained threatens to break free once more. Joined by Anwyn, a priestess from Avalon, the witches and others chosen by fate gather for the final battle.
This time, there is more at stake than ever before.
This time, they must defeat the evil for good, or it will become too powerful to destroy.
An avid reader since childhood, I used to wake up early in the morning to read before going to school. The books that first fired my imagination were the Black Stallion books by Walter Farley. My daydreams leaned toward finding myself stranded on a desert island with a black stallion only I could ride. Those daydreams helped me make it through, what I considered, the drudgery of school. Who wouldn't rather be romping in the freedom of the outdoors taming a wild stallion?
As I matured, so did my taste in books along with my daydreams. Escaping into the pages of a book captured my attention and pumped my senses like nothing else. Unfortunately, I was always of the mind that I could never actually write a book. You had to be a writer to do something like that. Eventually, I came to my senses. As my fortieth birthday approached, I decided to write a book. I had no idea how to write, what to write about, or even how to begin, but, imbued with Capricorn stubborness, I wrote anyway.
Currently, I am living my life-long dream on 50 acre farm in Ontario, Canada. This move to the country has proven to be time consuming, especially since a friend gave me two baby goats as a farm-warming gift. I have added to the herd and now own 12 goats, not to mention my Welsh pony, 3 dogs and 2 cats.
My husband, Fred, and I, own and operate a martial arts and wellness centre as well as run an archery range and store on our farm. I also work a part time job in order to help feed my menagerie of animals.
