Book One: Defiled by the Grave I am Nevaeh. Vae. I prefer 'Vae', please. I was just raped. All I ever wanted was for a nice man to notice me, fall for me, be unable to resist me… so, I guess I got what I wanted, huh? He called it 'making love after a romantic evening'. He said he was unable to stop himself because 'the heart just knows what it wants'. There's not much I can do about it. I can't go to the police or lawyers. Who would believe me? He's rich, attractive, white… I'm nerdy, poor, fat, and black. Who would believe a woman like me, over a man like Rhys Ritchton? I just want to forget it ever happened… Except, now my ancestor, Beula, is coming back from the grave- haunting me- telling me her short-lived survival story… And, along with Beula, has come Erzulie, a Voodoo goddess, who wants to help me get vengeance. Using witchcraft! I no longer know who I am, or who to trust, or what to believe. My only constant source of support is my best friend since childhood, Rose… But, could she be hiding something from me, as well…? Book Two: A Crow to Pluck My name is Ryleigh Byrne. I am not well. My mind plays tricks on me, even as my body is betraying me. I'm not yet twenty years old, but I now live at Peachfield Manor, an assisted living facility almost exclusively devoted to the elderly, where I must rely on the aid of nurses just to survive. Life isn't fair. And something isn't quite Peachy at Peachfield. My fellow residents- sweet old ladies and grandpa figures with dementia and physical limitations like my own- are being killed! And I think I know by who… or should I say what? I see things. At night. Hear things. In the Dark. Evil things… I know things are not as they seem. Peachfield is home to more than nurses and psychiatric patients. There's something dark living inside these walls, preying on the most vulnerable inside. Lady Death- The Morrigan- herself told me so. When no one else believes me, I have no choice but to team up with my hot non-binary nursing aid, Larkin, to do a some investigating… Before any more patients end up dead- myself included. Book Three: And Swear You Died When nonbinary Larkin Summers returns to university to distract themself from their crushing grief, they meet a group of young witches- a coven- led by Charity, keeper of the local occult shop, and Nevaeh, a Voodoo priestess. When a mysterious spirit offers to make Larkin's dreams come true in the form of justice, vengeance, and necromancy, how could Larkin say 'no'- especially when 'yes' could mean being reunited with their lost love? How will they react to a new, queer romance budding? Will the coven have their back, when things take a dark turn…? Book Four: Come Hell or High Water Miriam is a young mother, new wife, university student, and witch. When she takes a remote summer vacation, she is betrayed and assaulted by three people she loves and trusts like family. With nowhere else to turn for help, she finds protection and deliverance in her goddess, Athena, and her ancestor, Natasa. Cutting herself free from the web of lies she's been living in will require Miriam to undertake a journey of personal discovery and growth of Herculean proportions and be reborn like a Phoenix from the ashes of the lives she burns down. How will she ever be able to trust anyone--especially her husband--ever again?
