Sometimes it's not a question of right or wrong, but what you think you can get away with. Dara Martin is an untrained witch with strong natural power, and while she knows she deserves formal education from the Academy, it will take years of grueling study and hard slog for this half-blood to be accepted by the Kin. On the other hand, Willem the sorcerer may hold the secret to her lost mother, and he promises to fast-track her power beyond measure. What he proposes is illegal, and if she's caught, her magic will be painfully bound forever. But only if the Witch Kin catch her...

A darkness emerges from within threatens to shatter her world. Dara's poised on the brink of her new life. She finally has her place amongst the ranks of the Kin and her ambition steers her ever upward. Yet what she finds here is falseness and intrigue - Hugh, her father, Meg - are revealed with their all-too-human failings. The only witch she can trust to be true is her worst enemy. Cate. A larger peril is looming for the Witch Kin, one that has been brewing beneath the surface for centuries. In order to help, she needs to return home and find the truth inside herself, all while facing the demons of her own past and future. As the reality of her new powers hits home, she now understands why Margaret Forsythe was forcibly locked away by the patriarchal Kin all those years ago.

On a lonely Scottish island stands a stone tower which harbors a terrible secret deep within... Dara Martin has been given a second chance to redeem herself in the eyes of the ruling Witch Kin. They'll teach her how to wield her powerful natural magic and eventually, maybe, to work with Hugh, as long as she gives up her errant ways. But the tower's mystery inevitably draws her in, and while she has sworn not to lie to the Kin, she must hold on to her own secrets or lose her only chance of freeing her mother...

Dara was born with natural power, but it'll be her death sentence if she's caught. The aristocratic Witch Kin hold the monopoly on all things magic, and Dara's half-blood status excludes her from their ranks.

He may be a rogue witch, but he's willing to teach her some things if she'll help him with his quest. Unfortunately for her, a little knowledge can be more dangerous than none at all. And she soon finds out there are no quick fixes to errors in magic... Large Print Edition

Up till now, I've kept everything together despite being perimenopausal with teenagers, working a stressful job and having a husband with a wandering eye. Yet I know I've never fulfilled my potential or even truly lived yet. The discovery of the family Hob Goblin in my cellar promised to change all that, along with a sudden ability to affect the future through my drawings.

Before I can enjoy exercising my newly found powers, rival Fae factions vie for my loyalty and I'm caught in the middle of a deadly game of cat and mouse. I have to find my Great-Grandmother's mysterious Books in order to save myself, my family and even my husband's lover, and there isn't much time.
