Synopsis
"Her voice enchants a nation, their magick must break the spell. David and Jessica discover a politician whose rise to fame may not be all it seems. In a Britain teetering on the edge of economic collapse, Felerah Blackthorn's meteoric rise to political stardom seems almost magical. Her voice captivates the masses, her words reshape reality, and her influence knows no bounds. As the nation falls under her spell, only two people can see through the veil of her enchantments: David and Jessica, witches sworn to protect the balance between magick and mundane. As Felerah's campaign for power reaches its peak, David and Jessica must navigate a treacherous landscape of ancient artifacts, shadowy conspiracies, and manipulated media. With their own magickal abilities pushed to the limit, they race against time to uncover the truth behind Felerah's unprecedented influence. But in a world where every broadcast, tweet, and speech may be laced with siren magic, can they find a way to break the spell before Britain surrenders its very soul to the enchantress's song?" --Back cover.
