Finally.
She’d cast enough complicated spells as a much younger witch to recognize the energy pattern that meant the casting had passed a point of no return. If she’d done things right, she’d be sucked into darkness and spit out in 1895 Glasgow. She hadn’t wanted to show up too early and have to try again, so she’d aimed for the middle of the 1890s.
The air around her turned incandescent and thickened with the distinctive feel of witch magic mingled with the smells of her own power. Marigolds, vanilla, and sunbaked clay. Tingling started in her feet and worked its way up her body, sweeping her along with it. She loved the feel of casting power, adored the sense of invincibility and strength.
The walls of her basement fell away, leaving her floating in a dark void. She kept every fiber of her being homed in on her goal. It wouldn’t do to fall off the grid as she dreamed of being Superwoman. She did not want to get stuck in the dark place between worlds and time periods.
Liliana set her jaw in a determined line, teeth jammed against each other. She’d do her best to cushion her sudden appearance with magic so as not to alarm anyone who might be privy to her entrance.
And then she’d use a tracking spell to locate her mother. It was blood linked, which meant it would also pinpoint every Roskelly witch in close proximity. Not ideal, but it couldn’t be helped. The best she could hope for was that she’d locate Gloria before the Black Witch Roskellys noticed her presence.
I’m being ridiculous. What the hell could they do to me?
Answers rushed in from all sides of the blackness surrounding her. Each one unnerved her, obliterated the joy she’d taken in working magic once again. The kindest thing her kinswomen could do was kill her.
But Roskellys prided themselves on never being kind.
