Return of the Witch

In the shadowed hollows of the 1920s Appalachian Mountains, something ancient is stirring-and it remembers her name.

War nurse Margaret “Meg” Taylor returns to her late grandmother’s mountain cabin seeking refuge from grief, disillusionment, and the ghosts of the Great War. But the land has not forgotten her bloodline. Long-whispered stories of a “witch woman” resurface, and strange signs begin to circle the woods: missing children, healing roots that grow where they shouldn’t, and a scarred figure in the trees who watches…but does not harm.

As the townspeople turn toward firebrand preachers and fear-fueled faith, Meg is thrust into a spiritual battle older than scripture. Guided only by a cryptic grimoire, a wild child no one claims, and the presence of the mountain itself, she must walk the line between healer and heretic, past and present, reason and belief.

Some powers seek to protect the land. Others want to burn it clean.

And deep beneath the soil, something remembers.

A haunting, slow-burn tale of folklore, feminine power, and quiet resistance, Return of the Witch is the first volume in The Witch of Biddle Creek series-where the mountain is not just a setting, but a character…and not every witch wears the name aloud.
