A Time When Demons

Life as a witch isn't all it's cracked up to be. While it's true that Aeres Cadogan has inherited a host of powers other young women could only dream of harnessing, these abilities come with a heavy burden: the burden of Wicca society. Wicca society's got it all: standards set by an ancient magickal patriarchy. Arranged marriages. Even familial expectations to care for dangerous paranormal anomalies which would otherwise terrorize the mortal population. Rebellious and head-strong Aeres has managed to avoid these aspects of her society for 19 years. But one fateful night at the club, a magickal prank goes terribly wrong. When a man nearly dies, Aeres is plunged into a dark new domain where betrayal and death are all too real. To get out, she must harness her abilities and set her world right once again... all while avoiding an impending marriage and facing off against one of the greatest serial killers the world has ever known. Trigger warnings: -Death and graphic depictions of murder -Self harm and near-death (for magickal, not suicidal reasons) -Drug and alcohol use, incl. mention of GHB -Temporary non-consensual imprisonment in a small space Life as a witch isnt all its cracked up to be.
