Ghosts, vampires, demons, and a nosey documentary film crew - who represents the most danger for the Raven's Landing witches? Aveline and Eben are devoted friends, but Eben wants more - and deep down, so does Aveline. Something in the past is holding them apart. Eben Ayotunde is a stoic, gifted male witch, one who learned of his magic in a baptism of fire in his homeland. He is humble and hardworking, but when provoked strikes like lightning, with fire and brimstone as his tools. Eben came to Raven's Landing to be at one with people of his kind, but his attraction to Aveline allows him no peace. When she is threatened, there's no other choice for Eben but to protect her, even if it risks the disapproval of the Witches' Council, and the wrath of the Lord of the Underworld. Aveline Pascoe, the respected local librarian, mourns the loss of the academic life she had before she learned she was magical, and that's what's holding her back from loving Eben. When Aveline's ex arrives - a professor who scorns the supernatural - to take apart the mythology and folklore of Raven's Landing for the sake of a documentary, Aveline is forced to face her past, and defend what she has become. In doing so she learns what is worth defending, and who is destined to be her true hero.
Author
Saskia is British by birth, but because of her parent's nomadic tendencies she grew up traveling the globe—an only child with a serious book habit. She dreamed of being a writer since the age of 12 and finally began writing seriously in the late 1990s. Saskia's short stories have now been published in over one hundred international anthologies and magazines including Cosmo, and Bust. In the noughties Saskia started working on longer projects and since then her novels have been published by Penguin and Harlequin as well as other publishing houses. To her absolute delight two of her novels won Passionate Plume awards and her work has twice been nominated for an Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers' Choice Award. Her Witches of Scotland series was widely translated and became a Scandinavian bestseller. In 2015 she became a USA TODAY bestselling author. It's been an amazing journey! Saskia is now a full time author and she has many more stories to tell. Saskia lives in the north of England, on the beautiful, windswept landscape of the Yorkshire moors, with her real life hero, Mark. Mark supports her work through all its ups and downs, and manages to keep her sane and grounded when fiction threatens to take over. http://www.saskiawalker.co.uk.home.html
