About This Book
Seventeen-year-old Dayna juggles her somatic OCD, the challenges of being bisexual in a small Irish town, and the complicated return of her distant mother while striving to become a full witch. When a mysterious coven with a dark reputation arrives and a witch is found murdered with chilling symbols, Dayna and her rival Meiner must unravel a dangerous mystery tied to ancient gods and a notorious killer before one of them becomes the next victim. Blending modern witchcraft with Celtic myths, this story weaves suspense, identity, and magic into a thrilling adventure.
