Summary:
is a ghost. Simon can heal any wound with a touch and senses others’ emotions,
intentions. All their lives they’ve felt alone in their bizarre abilities,
hiding behind a facade of normalcy, wondering why and how. The night Simon
walks into the Twelve Acres Diner and meets Willa face to face, in a swirl of
electric heat, they are bound to one another and glimpse the magic of who they
are.
Across town a witch is held prisoner in the derelict
basement of an old Victorian house. One night as it rains, she dares to reach
her filthy, scarred hand out the window. Willa, walking home from work,
recognizes the pathetic hand from a recent, terrible dream.
After a daring rescue of the witch, Willa and
Simon are catapulted into the alluring but dangerous world of witchcraft and
the magic of The Six Gifts. Answers to all their questions are within reach,
but they’ve stepped into the middle of a deadly fight for the Powers of the
Earth. Do they stay, risk their lives on the promise of power, or walk away?
Teri Harman’s groundbreaking debut novel, the
first installment in The Moonlight Trilogy, completely reinvents the modern
concept of witches and magic. With its authentic translation of the history of
witches into a fresh and entertaining package with unprecedented
characterization, Blood Moon is sure to capture readers from the first page.
