ABOUT
Darragh Cullen has a secret.
It’s not that he’s a witch. No, thanks to him, magic has been out of the broom closet for a while now. But it’s still one he’s desperate to keep hidden from Learco Clarke, the sext head of the Southeastern Division of the Moral Authority of Witches, despite what his boyfriend Cernun Kyteler thinks.
Yet when the magically mutilated corpses of young witches behin to appear throughout Atlanta, a secret told could save countless lives.
A fire at HEX—the magic shop he inherited from his uncle—and the plague of Balor—the mad king of the Dark Fae—are only the beginning of the darkness to come. Darragh, Cernun, and Learco must work together to find the killer before all of Atlanta goes up in flames.
