The Knowing (Paperback or Softback)

Suddenly, as her sixteenth birthday approaches, Lottie Jacobs starts having nightmares.

That’s when strange things begin to happen.

As the midnight hour to her birthday arrives, a magical veil dissipates, revealing to Lottie that she has been under a strong cloaking spell protecting her from an evil presence. In her pursuit to discover why she needed protection, she is caught up in a harrowing world of magic where she is the target of a vengeful enemy.

But she’s not fighting evil alone.

Lottie realizes she has powerful allies in an ancient coven with a history linked to the dawn of ages. They’re hiding a secret that Lottie is bound to, blood and bone.

Can they vanquish the evil coming for Lottie before it’s too late?
