Book excerpt: As the last Keeper of the vile Crone’s Stone, 17 year-old Winsome Light has inherited a terrible legacy – for Satan’s mistress does not take kindly to thieves. She wants her powerful stone back and Winnie is the only one left to hide it. The problem is; no one told her. The Crone is coming to take back what’s hers and Winnie had better be ready. This is no fairytale. “Danger and excitement abound in this enticing first book in an exciting new paranormal series.” Publisher’s Weekly Reviewer. “One cannot help but root for Winnie, both in her quest, and in love. The author introduces intriguingly flawed, yet heroic characters poised to embark on a search for other ancestral artifacts that will aid in the protection of the Stone and its Keeper. Winnie must not only fend off the manifestations of her worst nightmares but she must also be wary of the ultimate deceiver, Finesse’s lover, Seth.” Publisher’s Weekly Reviewer.
