SHADOW LINES Series | Book 1

The person you turn to for help might cost you everything.

Black witch Georgia Clare arrives late to a new moon rite… and walks into a massacre.

She is the only one who escapes, and the only one who knows what was responsible. But survival comes at a cost. In the days that follow, Georgia becomes both a suspect and a liability. The city she thought was home closes ranks. Worse, the creature that killed her coven didn’t finish the job. Georgia can sense it in the shadows. Watching. Waiting.

Private investigator Darius deCompostela makes his living uncovering what others try to bury. Burdened with unwanted second sight, he has built his life around distance and denial. Getting involved is dangerous. Caring is worse.

When Georgia comes to him for help, neither of them tells the whole truth. As they move through San Francisco’s hidden undercurrents, the investigation strips away their defenses, one lie at a time. The longer they spend with each other, the more the protections they rely on erode.

When the lines finally break, there are no clean choices left. There’s only the cost of staying, and the cost of walking away.

SEASON OF THE WITCH is a literary occult novel about dangerous intimacy, illicit magic, and the complicated cost of survival.
