Druidess (The Wadsworth Legacy )

Description

Horrific tales of witchery, necromancy, ghosts, and murder. Joni thought these were myths, preserved by her ancestors in their journals... until the Caplata returned from the grave...  We cannot build the future by avenging the past... It is generally the trustful and optimistic people who can afford to retreat. The loveless and faithless ones are compelled by their pessimism to attack. - T.H. White, The Once and Future King Joni had always been fascinated by the history of her family’s old, antebellum plantation. Her ancestor’s journals were filled with stories, many involving two slave girls, the older of whom was deeply involved in the "red magic" of the Bokors. When Messalina returns from the grave on a quest of vengeance, Joni must confront the wickedness of her own family’s past, while also embracing a truth even more ancient—that she is descended from a line of Druids. Joni is the only one who stands between Messalina and her insidious plans.      Druidess introduces a new, modern fantasy series, that takes readers on a thrilling journey into the world of Celtic and Native American mythology, Voodoo, and an eternal realm where all magic—good and evil alike—has its origins.
