Washington D.C. keeps its secrets buried beneath marble and ceremony. But for Maren, a decade spent authenticating objects at the Meridian has taught her that the things people keep - the masks, the sealed vessels, the carefully positioned relics - tell a truer story than anything official. When she's called to appraise a collection in a preserved Victorian flat in the old part of the city, she finds herself drawn into a world she can't authenticate her way out of.
The Casted Coven is a literary novel of folk magic, haunted history, and the things that change us before we know we've been changed. Every location is real. Every tradition is documented. The history woven between chapters is as accurate as ten years of research and one very strange period of a life can make it.
