A Black Magic

The Haunted Women: Book 3

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Let her come. Let her be strong enough.

New to the series? This advance copy opens with a short “story so far.”

New York, 1974. By day, Fran Tarantino and her cousin Mary Jane are freshmen at Barnard College. By night, Fran presses a drop of her own blood to the relics her ancestors left behind and falls into their memories: a Scottish healer standing trial for her life in London, 1719; a colonial apothecary shop in Boston where her family’s curse was born.

She is searching the blood for the one thing no living soul can tell her: how to be free of Daedrian, the spirit who has ruled the women of her bloodline for two hundred and fifty years, and who calls his dominion love. He is always near. Some of what the blood remembers, he would kill to keep buried.

A Black Magic is the haunting conclusion to The Haunted Women, feminist gothic horror in the vein of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.

Content Warning: Contains scenes of sexual violence and abuse.
