Sage, Smoke and Fire

The world has fallen out of energetic balance, plagued with ignorance, hatred, pollution and chaos. In the Deep South, there is a remedy both powerful and dangerous--witches. At the peak of summer, Nina is living a fast-paced life in New York City. But when the earth's gravitational pull activates a gene-making her and a few others capable of magic-she is called to duty in southern Louisiana to lead a coven of witches and restore emotional, mental and spiritual balance to the world through magic. By autumn, witches are turning up dead and she has but one choice-defend the coven. And when she witnesses extraordinary powers beyond those of any known witch, Nina sets out on a magical quest through the dark and sultry swamps, voodoo shops, right-wing churches and alternate planes of consciousness to uncover the source of the dangerous gifts; all while trying to create peace not just within the coven, but with the people who knew her in the life she left behind.
