Full Circle (Hayle Coven 8)

The Enforcers Cometh

The
moment my hand touched the handle, I felt Quaid enter the back yard,
just like always. But if it wasn’t him on the other side of the kitchen
door, who was? I pulled it open on reflex, still smiling, to find three
black robed Enforcers looming in the darkness.

They didn’t
wait for me to stand aside but muscled their way in. The leader, a woman
with familiar features if not a face I knew personally, took a stand in
the middle of the kitchen, body shimmering with blue power as the wards
of the house tried to repel her.

“We’ve come for Miriam Hayle,” she said. “Your leader is under arrest.”

Syd’s
life is finally settled. She’s even going on her first date with Quaid.
That calm is shattered when a group of High Council Enforcers arrive
and arrest her mother on countless charges. Desperate to defend Miriam,
Syd calls on all of her family’s allies, even seeking out those she
should probably leave in peace. Certain the Dumonts are behind the whole
thing, Syd is shocked to discover there is much more to this attack on
her coven, an attack led by an old enemy who holds Miriam’s life in her
hands.
