Scorched Earth Magic

By Elana McDougall

A mysterious village in the North Carolina mountains hides an Eldritch sanctuary where magical beings fight to remain hidden from the outside world in The Eldritch of Hallows series.

In Scorched Earth Magic, a young woman must combine her magic with her former lover's in order to protect something she loves even more than him-the child he didn't know he had.

Julia Warwick Highgarten fled the magical village of Hallows, North Carolina, five years ago. Her dreams of life of love with aristocratic Sebastian Saint-Remy shattered when she uncovered his ulterior motives for pursuing her. Hiding away in the human world, she created a new life for herself as a successful glass artist. When she learns that her mother, head of the mage clan, is dying, she returns.

The prodigal daughter's arrival sends ripples over a tangled web of emotions. Her sisters feel betrayed by her mysterious five-year-long disappearance. Despite her terminal illness, her mother schemes to advance her political goals. Sebastian had scoured the Outside world trying to find her. He is overjoyed at her return and determined to win her back. He won't let her abandon him again, especially when he discovers the secret she kept from him-his child.

Julia can't bring herself to trust his declarations of love or risk the pain of being betrayed again. She's adamant that her homecoming has nothing to do with him and is unwilling to stay in Hallows. Forced by a legal gambit to cooperate with Sebastian, she struggles against her own feelings for the only man she's ever loved. Yet even as her traitorous heart is endangered by his determined campaign, evil forces amass that threaten all she holds dear. In the epic climax, she must find the strength to save herself, Sebastian and their daughter from a relentless evil.
