Roots & Wrath

By E J Wenstrom

"Roots & Wrath is witchy, bitchy, and one hell of a ride Like The Craft meets Mean Girls, but these frenemies are all grown up and plotting murder. I'm obsessed."

- Emma C. Wells, USA Today Bestselling Author of This Girl's a Killer

Once, there were six.

Six young witches were hungry to achieve remarkable things...until they performed a clandestine ritual in the dark wood. Only five witches returned. The secret they buried beneath a hungry great oak split them apart forever.

Now there are five.

Eighteen years later, the death of their legendary mentor forces them back together. In her will, the professor binds them to carry on her work until their magical bond is shattered for good...by death.

Soon, there will be four.

The remaining witches scramble to uncover who is willing to kill to escape their bond. Magical spells and broken alliances-not to mention a relentless ghost of their past deeds-drive them back to the dark wood to unearth their past.

Can any of them survive the specter of the dark wood and finally put the past to rest?

Roots & Wrath is a standalone dark fantasy featuring ruthless, unapologetic female characters in a twisty, suspenseful whirlwind of a plot. Perfect for fans of The Craft, Yellowjackets, Plain Bad Heroines, The Return, and Once and Future Witches.
