    About this series

    Miriam is a young mother, new wife, university student, and witch. When she takes a remote summer vacation, she is betrayed and assaulted by three people she loves and trusts like family. With nowhere else to turn for help, she finds protection and deliverance in her goddess, Athena, and her ancestor, Natasa. Cutting herself free from the web of lies she's been living in will require Miriam to undertake a journey of personal discovery and growth of Herculean proportions and be reborn like a Phoenix from the ashes of the lives she burns down. How will she ever be able to trust anyone--especially her husband--ever again?

    In book 4 of The Arcane Ancestor's Collection, we continue to follow the individual, intertwining lives of the witches of C.O.V.E.N. H.E.A.R.T. at Mississippi State University. Fan favorites such as Larkin, Vae, Charity, and Rose make appearances-- as well as a surprise appearance from someone thought eternally lost to the group!--and, a new witch has joined the coven, as well: Augusta Sprayberry.

      I am Nevaeh. Vae. I prefer 'Vae', please. I was just raped. All I ever wanted was for a nice man to notice me, fall for me, be unable to resist me… so, I guess I got what I wanted, huh? He called it 'making love after a romantic evening'. He said he was unable to stop himself because 'the heart just knows what it wants'. There's not much I can do about it. I can't go to the police or lawyers. Who would believe me? He's rich, attractive, white… I'm nerdy, poor, fat, and black. Who would believe a woman like me, over a man like Rhys Ritchton? I just want to forget it ever happened… Except, now my ancestor, Beula, is coming back from the grave- haunting me- telling me her short-lived survival story… And, along with Beula, has come Erzulie, a Voodoo goddess, who wants to help me get vengeance. Using witchcraft! I no longer know who I am, or who to trust, or what to believe. My only constant source of support is my best friend since childhood, Rose… But, could she be hiding something from me, as well…?

      My name is Ryleigh Byrne. I am not well. My mind plays tricks on me, even as my body is betraying me. I'm not yet twenty years old, but I now live at Peachfield Manor, an assisted living facility almost exclusively devoted to the elderly, where I must rely on the aid of nurses just to survive. Life isn't fair. And, something isn't quite Peachy at Peachfield. My fellow residents- sweet old ladies and grandpa figures with dementia and physical limitations like my own- are being killed!  I think I know by who... or should I say what? I see things. At night. Hear things. In the Dark. Evil things... I know things are not as they seem. Peachfield is home to more than nurses and psychiatric patients. There's something dark living inside these walls, preying on the most vulnerable inside. Lady Death- The Morrigan- herself told me so. When no one else believes me, I have no choice but to team up with my hot non-binary nursing aid, Larkin, to do a some  investigating... Before any more patients end up dead- myself included!
