The long awaited sequel to Dust on the Altar is finally here!
Blood on the Raven
Jade thought becoming High Priestess and finding out who killed her aunt would bring some kind of closure, but regaining her powers was only half the battle. The anger and hurt haven’t diminished and it’s messing with her control.
When a dark Witch threatens the coven, Jade thinks things can’t get any worse. But a Sun City lawkeeper's investigation could ruin the fragile truce between the classes, igniting a new war between science and magic.
Can she stay out of the lawkeeper’s sights, protect the peace, and find the vengeance she seeks?
