The Mystic's Price (The Excommunicated Witch Savant Book 6)

Power always demands sacrifice. Josephine Locket never wanted her grandmother's legacy—only her freedom. Cast out from her coven for refusing to submit, she built a school where magic means liberation, not chains. Where students learn to trust their gifts instead of fearing them. Then the deaths began. First, a teacher she loved like family. Then entire covens, erased in a single night. Someone is collecting magical bloodlines, and they've saved Josephine's for last. Her mother emerges from decades of hiding with a terrible truth: their family guards a mirror that shows secrets worth killing for. The school at Mount Shasta draws power from seven converging ley lines, making it both fortress and target. Strange figures watch from the forest edge. Students report nightmares that feel like memories. The boundary between the living and dead grows dangerously thin. Three women, three generations, three different paths to power—Josephine and her family must unite against an enemy whose reach spans centuries. Someone who believes fear is the only way to control magic. Someone who has been watching, waiting, preparing. Will Josephine's defiance save her students or doom them all? Can she protect tomorrow's witches from yesterday's sins? The earth remembers everything. The mirror reveals everything. And everything has a price. The epic conclusion to the Excommunicated Witch Savant series—where family bonds are tested, ancient powers awaken, and the cost of freedom may be higher than anyone imagined. View Less
