In 1771, Robert Burns, future national poet and folk hero of
Scotland, has big problems. 12-year-old Rab spends all of his time
doing backbreaking work on his family's farm instead of attending
school, but when he finds a hag stone in one of the fields,
everything changes. Looking through its circular hole, he sees
witches gathering in a coming storm, and they've set their sights
on his family. Can Rab save his sisters from the clutches of the
witches' coven before their Halloween ceremony in the old kirk?
Filled with mystery and magic, Hag Storm is a spooky, historical
adventure with a supernatural twist, based on the life of Robert
Burns and one of his most famous and best-loved poems, Tam
O'Shanter.

FIVE WOMEN ARE DEAD. The killer leaves no fingerprints, no DNA. Police
are utterly stumped. In a world where only women can use magic and the
men who know about it seek to eradicate them, three damaged young women
- one cursed, one hunted, one out for revenge - will team up to track
down and take out a brutal supernatural killer.
Jude Wolf is rich as sin and handsome as the devil. But she's also
cursed. Her immortal soul is tethered to a rather hateful demon - and
she wants the hell out of the deal. What Jude needs is a cursewriter -
and she thinks the string of dead women, all of whom she suspects are
messing with the occult, might just be able to lead her to one.
Zara Jones has also been tracking the murders since they began. Her
older sister was the killer's first victim. Zara doesn't just want
revenge, she wants to find a way to bring her sister back. What Zara
needs is a witch, a sorcerer, a necromancer - in fact, what Zara needs
is a cursewriter. At the apartment of the fifth victim, Jude and Zara
meet by chance, and there they find a clue that brings their paths
crashing together: a strange business card bearing three words. Emer
Byrne. Cursewriter.
