The Secrets of the Thistle & Shield

About the book

For Elizabeth Marchand, inheriting the centuries-old grimoire of her grandmothers came with more than a legacy of magic. It came with powers and responsibilities she was only beginning to understand. As she settles into her new life in the bucolic town of Camden Hills, seeking a peaceful retreat from her toxic family and a bitter divorce, a local conservation battle brings a powerful corporate developer to her doorstep, and what begins as a fight to preserve the ecology of her Massachusetts town becomes increasingly personal … and dangerous. Working with a close sisterhood of local witches with diverse abilities, Elizabeth struggles to resist being co-opted by a secret organization known as the Thistle & Shield Alliance, which has fought against this corporate developer across the globe. With a young daughter discovering emerging powers of her own, Elizabeth is also at odds with her ex-husband, who is deeply involved with the developer. Will her grandmother’s enchanted ring and her shapeshifting familiar provide enough protection when even the police are on the payroll of the opposition?
