Shade’s latest case hits close to home when a witch shows up on her doorstep claiming her magic has been stolen. A fly-by-night coven is using an online message board to recruit inexperienced witches—only to vanish weeks later, leaving a trail of magicless women in their wake. And it only gets weirder from there. An offer of help from a familiar, but unwelcome source. Growing discord from Scath threatening to play right into their enemies’ hands. And the mutilated body of a solitary witch. Now it’s personal. There’s something theatrical about these magic thefts, something beyond a simple lust for power. Someone is pulling the strings—and there’s no shortage of puppeteers among Shade’s suspects. But a witch can only be pushed so far. And Shade has had enough.
Author
Jennifer Blackstream is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She is amazed and grateful to have made a writing career out of a Master’s degree in Psychology, hours of couch-detecting watching Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and endless research into mythology and fairy tales. She firmly believes that whether it’s a village witch deciding she wants to be a private investigator, or a single mother having a go at being a full time writer, it’s never too late for a new adventure. A fervent devotee of cooperative board games, Jennifer sets aside at least two nights a week for team-based adventures such as Mice & Mystics, Sentinels of the Multiverse, or Harry Potter: Battle at Hogwarts. She uses games with dice-based mechanics to lure in her ridiculously lucky-rolling son and daughter in the hope that they too will develop a passion for cooperative escapism. Jennifer currently has three series going: BLOOD PRINCE SERIES (PARANORMAL ROMANCE, COMPLETE): Book 1 – Before Midnight Book 2 – One Bite Book 3 – Golden Stair Book 4 – Divine Scales Book 5 – Beautiful Salvation Bonus Adventures in the Blood Prince World: Book 2.5 – What Big Teeth You Have (free when you sign up for mailing list mentioned below) Book 4.5 – The Pirate’s Witch Book 5.5 – Dead to Begin With (available only between Thanksgiving and whenever Jennifer takes her Christmas tree down) BLOOD REALM SERIES (PARANORMAL ROMANCE, IN PROGRESS SPIN-OFF OF BLOOD PRINCE SERIES): Book 1 – All for a Rose Book 2 – Blue Voodoo Book 3 – The Archer Book 4 – Bear With Me Book 5 – Stolen Wish BLOOD TRAILS SERIES (URBAN FANTASY, ONGOING) Book 1 – Deadline Book 2 – Monster Book 3 – Taken Book 4 – Corruption Book 5 – Mercenary Book 6 – Caged Book 7 – Betrayal
