In a town that hunts witches, Maya Thornwood has just discovered she is one.
At seventeen, Maya thought she knew Ashford, the quiet streets, Friday night football games, and the statue of the town founder watching over everything. Then the cold awakened inside her. Ice crystallizing at her fingertips. Frost spreading with every breath. Magic she never asked for, flowing through bloodlines marked for death three centuries ago.
Her ancestor was burned at the stake, promising vengeance. Now Maya must decide: become the monster they fear, or prove them wrong.
Vice Principal Harrow knows what she is. The Covenant, a secret organisation embedded in Ashford's power structure, has been hunting witches since 1692. They have lists, weapons, and centuries of practice eliminating people like Maya. Running means abandoning everyone else with magic in their blood. Fighting means becoming what they've always claimed witches are: dangerous.
But Maya isn't alone.
A ragtag group of awakened witches. A best friend willing to risk everything. And a choice that will ignite a war between those who fear power and those who wield it. When the town mobilizes for a purge, Maya must decide how far she'll go to survive and whether freedom is worth the cost of her humanity.
The witch inside her is waking up. And Ashford will never be the same.
Perfect for fans of Serpent & Dove and The Witch Hunter series, WITCH INSIDE is a dark paranormal thriller about power, persecution, and the dangerous line between justice and vengeance.
"A gripping tale that asks: What if the real monsters were the ones doing the hunting?"
Praise for Prasanth N.M.:
