Magic Rising
by Camilla Chafer
For Stella, the Witches’ Council Summit is supposed to be a chance to learn more about her fellow witches but instead of networking, she finds herself on trial for murder. The accusations may be evidence of a sinister plot at work or they may be a ruse to draw attention away from the mounting tensions as the witches vie for supremacy. Reaching out to her boyfriend Evan for help would be reassuring… if he wasn’t oddly unreachable.As the ominous reasons behind the trial come to light, an assassin unleashes a terrifying campaign against the Council candidates. With tensions running high and accusations flying faster than a backfiring spell, the witches are forced to gather together for safety, but that might just lead to an implosion as the culprit is sought.Plus there’s the small matter of an ancient talisman the werewolves are desperate to find, a talisman that they say is stolen, but the more Stella investigates, the more it appears that it isn’t the simple artefact they claim it to be. With Evan still missing and her world more complicated than ever, the choices Stella must make might confirm her place as a formidable witch in her new world or leave her excommunicated… forever.The Stella Mayweather Series:Illicit MagicUnruly MagicDevious MagicMagic RisingThe Stella Mayweather Collection, Books 1-3
