Girl of Darkness

One ancient prophecy. One powerful grimoire. One spell-binding story.

Eira Martell has spent ten years shutting out the spirit world, ever since her beloved grandmother disappeared from a pagan stone circle. But on her twentieth birthday, a stay at a haunted vicarage brings her psychic powers surging back.

Returning to her grandmother’s abandoned estate, Eira discovers that she is the fated Girl of Darkness, destined to find a legendary witch’s grimoire that only she can open. What she doesn’t know is that a mysterious brotherhood is waiting for this exact moment to step out of the shadows.

When the grimoire awakens, it brings Eira’s face-to-face with the ghosts of her past – and a scarred stranger with a deadly touch who might just be her future.
