The Blood Weave

In the winter-shadowed ridges of the Appalachian Mountains, as the Civil War tears through even the most remote hollows, an ancient covenant stirs awake...

Lena Birchfield has always lived between worlds healer, midwife, and quiet keeper of the Birchfield women's secret rites. But war has driven violence into Limestone Cove, bringing raiders, deserters, and worse into the high country. When a stranger arrives from Warm Springs with wolf-shadowed eyes, the mountain begins to whisper old warnings. Darkness is rising again the kind that once broke oaths, ruined clans, and turned protectors into monsters.

Eamon Beithe never meant to cross paths with a witch. His kind and hers have stood apart since the covenant was shattered generations ago. Yet as he hunts a rogue wolf twisting the chaos of war to its purpose, he finds himself drawn to Lena by a force older than memory. A pulse of magic and breath coils between them a bond neither of them asked for, and neither can escape.

When raiders descend on the cove and an ancient enemy awakens, witch and wolf must stand together or watch their mountain burn. Their bond is forbidden. Their power is dangerous. But the Blood Weave has chosen, and it does not untie its threads.

A tale of old magic, fierce love, and the healing of a broken world, The Blood Weave begins a sweeping Appalachian fantasy romance rooted in folklore, family, and the wild heart of a land torn by war.
