By Jami Taylor

"Loved it The Magic of Fireflies, based on actual events, is an engaging tale of love, betrayal, and adventure." - Lisa Henson, Reedsy Discovery

There is magic in the light of fireflies - at least that is what Avalena Grey had been told as a child.

Not that she had ever thought anything about magic, until her mother is accused of witchcraft and dragged to a fiery death by an angry mob. And then everything changes.

Thomas Blackburn offers her shelter at Galen Cottage, but the Virginia Colony an ocean away promises a new life. No one will know her there. It's a chance for a new start, far removed from any association with witchcraft.

But it isn't long before the quiet life in Princess Anne County is disrupted. Accusations are made against a local woman suspected of being a witch, an old enemy longing for revenge arrives, and Avalena learns that she is not the only one who has been keeping secrets. There is a witch among them, and magic is more a part of her than she could have ever imagined.
