Hayle Coven Inheritance

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. The Challenge “Jagger Santos,” Coradine said, voice singsong and trying to be endearing while I gagged a little over her cutsie attempt to be coy. So gross. “This is the one I was telling you about.” He didn’t look at her, his hunger for the fight apparent. “Ethie Hayle,” he said, deep voice full of daggers. “I’ve been looking forward to this.” I could have said no. Just turned on my heel and left, walked away, got the hell out of there. Should have. It was one thing to fight my own coven for “fun” occasionally. A way to let off steam, to expend some of my pent up anger in a reasonably safe way that ensured if they didn’t like me, they at least stayed out of my way. But a witch from another territory? The Santos coven wasn’t exactly on GreatGram’s favorite list, either. This could only end badly. Ethie Hayle has spent her whole life sheltered by the coven, her powerful family and the fear that an unknown enemy could, at any moment, leap out of the veil and hurt her. Talk about smothering when all she wants is to have the freedoms her oh-so-special brother, Gabriel, seems to take for granted. But when a strange woman appears and offers her a gift, Ethie discovers the concerns her mother and great-grandmother have harbored aren’t all that ridiculous after all and that there are powers in the Universe she can’t imagine…

Chapter 30: White Sorcery

Leah exhaled and settled next to me while gloom engulfed me and left me weary all over again.

It's the transmutation from one thing to another, she sent. That's why you're tired.

Right. Not the fact my power was stripped from me a couple of times or the fact I just lived through a horrible trauma. Gotcha, ghost girl.

Tell me more about transmutation, I sent. Mom would focus.

She seemed to shrug. What's to tell? You were a girl, now you're a locket.

Logical and horrifying. What happens to the physical body? I didn't want to know, but I had to know.

Leah didn't speak right away and I almost prodded her, but she blurted out her answer before I could. I don't know, she sent. But I'm pretty sure I don't have one.

I was on the same train of thought. You feel different to me, I sent. Could it be you didn't have one in the first place? Weird to consider it.
