Some powers are inherited. Others are awakened… at a cost.
Fleeing New Orleans after a desperate ritual goes wrong, a grieving daughter finds refuge in a quiet seaside town. But the dark force she summoned has followed her—and now the people she's come to love are in danger.
Sparrow comes from a long line of female healers in New Orleans whose lineage traces back to an African Voodoo priestess. But when her mother dies under suspicious circumstances, grief drives Sparrow to perform a desperate ritual for vengeance—unleashing a force she cannot control.
Fleeing north, she finds refuge in the charming seaside town of Penbrook—and in the kindness of Josh, a strikingly handsome fisherman who offers her the chance at a new beginning. As their relationship deepens, Sparrow must decide whether she can trust him with the truth while the darkness she awakened is growing stronger—and closing in.
Josh introduces her to Madeline, an antique shop owner known for her psychic gifts. Having experienced her own awakening, Madeline recognizes the signs immediately and knows the danger surrounding Sparrow is only beginning.
Together, they must confront the evil before it destroys everything she has come to love.
Blending ancestral magic, supernatural suspense, and unforgettable characters, Dark River Magic is a story of courage, destiny, and the freedom to embrace who you truly are.
Perfect for readers of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Penner, this standalone novel is the second book in the interconnected Hidden Gems series.
