Six of One Series

Kathryn Broch needs a vacation. Between fronting a rock band, managing a complicated long-distance relationship, and casting spirits out of her younger brother, Kellan, she's got a lot on her plate. She longs for the quiet time at their cabin in Mount Iolite where the love of her life, and Kellan's best friend, anticipates their return. But Kathryn's path is never so easy.  Kellan is a spirit vessel who believes he's meant to help all wayward entities--human or otherwise. Human souls seek the light, but darker spirits have a different agenda. Kathryn's outcaster arsenal is well-stocked, and deeply loyal aids are ever at her side, but the ferocity of Kellan's possessors grows. She needs more strength. In the darkness of a childhood memory, a massive power source waits for Kathryn, but reaching it will force her into the depths of her own fear. A convergence of ley lines draws all manner of entities to tranquil Mount Iolite. Kathryn and Kellan go there to rest, but an old enemy gets wind of their return--and covets revenge on the outcaster. The Brochs' peaceful sanctuary, and those they love the most, are mortally threatened. Will Kathryn gain the power she needs in time to save it all?

Sonya doesn't know where she is; if she's alive or dead. Only one thing seems certain: she's imprisoned in a dark purgatory by an entity that means her grave harm. Does anyone know she's there? Can they help her? Kathryn believed she'd gathered the necessary tools to exorcise the succubus once and for all: the ritual, the full moon, the readiness of her fearless tribe. The hag possessing Sonya was not in the plan. It skulks beneath her surface thinking it's safe from Kathryn's magic. If it waits out the power of the full moon, it can escape being banished by her ritual. The outcaster has no intention of allowing that. Drawing on every resource available, the Six formulate a perilous strategy, but the dire risks endanger Sonya's life even further. If this plan is going to succeed, they'll need help. Fortunately, the link between the tribe and their many friends is far-reaching. Hearing the call, loyal warriors come from other towns, other lands and other dimensions to assist. Defeat is not an option. The battle changes them all, but Sonya is the most altered. When she stands in the light once again, she sees it with very different eyes.

What does a wrathful succubus do for revenge? Kathryn Broch is about to find out. Having consumed the life force of thousands of humans, this entity has become an expert on our deepest fears. The dark secrets we try to keep hidden are its weapon of choice. A master of disguise, it can appear as anyone or anything it desires. The vision it shows Kathryn summons an old insecurity that menaces the confidence essential to an outcaster. Protecting Kellan, her spirit-vessel brother, is a full time job, but Kathryn is now up against the impenetrable secrecy of her love, Evan MacTavish. Something horrific happened to him in the war and he never intends to reveal it. Knowing this dreadful truth would torment the Brochs, the succubus seeks to expose it and call Evan's trustworthiness into question. But this monster is just getting started.   Kathryn's eradication plan becomes clear, but she must wait for the right moment. The succubus exploits the delay to strike a sudden and devastating blow—one from which the outcaster and her tribe may never recover.  

Evan's apprehension of what he will find in Scotland keeps him away for seventeen years. It's not lake monsters and fairies that concern him; it's the two people he loves most. He has never known Kathryn and Kellan without the magical manipulation of their witch grandmother. When they are in Mount Iolite, Ginny conceals their supernatural gifts so the vessel and outcaster can rest. That cloak prevents Evan from understanding their true powers, leaving him to his own dark and fearsome imaginings. His engagement to Kathryn emboldens him enough to finally experience the wild land his Brochs adore, and to accept however he finds them in it. But someone else finds him first, prompting an unforeseen path of self-discovery. The anxious excitement of his trip is overshadowed by the impending death of a deeply influential friend. The three are called to return to Mount Iolite, but a hard winter complicates their journey. Kellan's integral role in the passing of this great man amplifies his spiritual gifts ten-fold as he and his sister embark on a new life chapter. With their destinies continuing to emerge, the paths of the six further intertwine, drawing them ever closer to their collective purpose.

Kathryn Broch is basking in the first true happiness she's ever known. The spiritual chaos of the outcaster's everyday life quiets long enough for her to plan her wedding and look forward to her life at Evan MacTavish's side. After sharing a devastating loss in the spring, the couple are stronger than ever and believe they can weather anything the future holds. At their beloved cabin, Kath and her brother, Kellan, enjoy the end of summer with their friends while the last of the nuptial plans come together. The warm days are long, but the nights lift the veil in the forest allowing ancient entities to roam. The oldest of these beings are the elementals. Born of the land itself, they are energy feeders that cannot be destroyed or relocated, only temporarily distracted from an intended victim. When a monster that has terrorized locals for centuries returns, the six learn an astonishing truth that leads them into unfamiliar waters. Their collective strengths and skills help them find a solution—but is the problem really solved? Kath and Evan go joyfully into married life, but they are never free from their one irrefutable truth: the dark in Mount Iolite is different.

Every sixth generation of the Broch family produces a vessel and outcaster pair. Kathryn and Kellan are the current spiritual warriors guiding lost souls to their destinies beyond the veil. In his teens, Kellan and his first love, Gigi, accidentally started the next generation of the Broch bloodline. Too young to keep the child, they had to give her up. Not wanting to lose her entirely, the vessel added his DNA to every ancestry site he could find, hoping that one day their little girl would search for them.   That day has finally come.   But her arrival coincides with unimaginable events in the lives of the active Six. The spirits of the forest never leave them in peace for long. Newlyweds Kathryn and Evan don't get much time to enjoy their honeymoon before all hell breaks loose. Kellan and Gigi's daughter never had any sort of spiritual experience in her young life, but upon turning eighteen … the dreams began. She is drawn to Mount Iolite where she not only meets her birth parents, but also begins to discover that her unique parentage makes her far more than an ordinary young woman.
