Mystic Witch
March 2010, ImaJinn Books
"Potent magic. Heroine Bailey Campbell will cast a spell on every reader."
-- Scott Nicholson, author of The Red Church, The Manor, The Skull Ring, and others.
Bailey Campbell stood at the threshold of the ancient Place of Power.
Nearly invisible, a pulsing, blurry sphere dominated the immense cavern, suspended a few feet above the floor, distorting her vision of everything beyond it.
Around the anomaly were arrayed dozens of the Faceless Ones.
"Oh, shit."
When a vicious sorcerer escapes imprisonment in an alternate dimension, ex-witch Bailey Campbell must regain her power to thwart his plan for revenge on her and her mother. But to control the magic, she'll have to master the rage that's burned within her since the sorcerer murdered her father.
A mysterious mentor arrives to help, and together they pursue the sorcerer and his faceless supernatural minions through the chaos and destruction he rains on Atlanta. But can Bailey trust her heart and her life to her mentor, and more importantly, can she resist her own dark desire for revenge?
