Generation Witch: Rebirth
Working on final edits before sending to beta readers. Gen Witch started out as a stand-alone, but it's now book 1 - Rebirth.
Blurb;
A simple promise pulls Marcy back to her hometown six weeks before her 21st birthday, but all is not as it seems in the ancestral home. Marcy vowed never again to use her skills, until Granny became ill. Then, standing alone at the cemetery after the burial Marcy is enveloped by a dark presence, but she has no idea what to do and has no family in Canada to ask for help. So, she seeks advice from her old friend at the antique book shop and is surprised to discover he is a Helper to their craft. Marcy is also taken aback by her unusually strong feelings for his grandson, Cooper.
Marcy is compelled to complete the special ritual on her 21st birthday and decides to travel to England to start training with the only people she can trust, her grandmother’s sister and her family. While there, she discovers her family aren’t just psychics, they’re witches. When she finally returns home with cousin Drew, a magickal attempt made on her life reinforces that her powers aren’t simple tricks, and emphasizes the urgency to learn all she can in a few short weeks. Her family represent the last four Adhamas remaining and it’s up to Marcy to delve into the past in order to protect their future.
