Synopsis
A midlife witch. A rising darkness. A magical academy waking from its long sleep and a Head Priestess who refuses to stay buried in the past… Maeve Bellemore thought returning from Shadowick would mean a moment of peace…maybe even a mug of Stella’s extra-strength vampire-blend tea. Instead, the Academy is stirring, while its ancient Wards shift with unsettling new rhythms. Whispers coil through its halls, rooms rearrange themselves, and old spells hum with warnings Maeve can’t decipher fast enough. And when the Priestess’s presence is felt not just in the Wards, but in Maeve’s own magic, Maeve realizes the battle she thought was over has only changed shape. But the deeper Maeve delves into the Academy’s shifting magic, the more impossible truths rise from its foundations…truths tied to curses, fractured realms, and a past that refuses to remain buried. The Head Priestess didn’t return for revenge. She returned for Maeve. And Maeve is only beginning to understand why. Because in Stonewick, magic always has a cost… and this time, it might be Maeve’s own destiny. Cozy, magical, mysterious, and brimming with midlife charm, this next installment in the Stonewick Magical Midlife Witch Academy series delivers laughter, danger, slow-burn sparks, and found-family warmth. Perfect for fans of midlife magic, witch academies, shifters, and small-town fantasy with big secrets.
