A New Generation of Magic Begins

There is something deeply satisfying about returning to a world that still has more stories to tell.

When I first began writing the Witches of Time, I knew I was stepping into something layered with magic, history, and the kind of love that refuses to fade. What I didn’t know then was how far that world would grow, or how many stories would still be waiting for me on the other side.

The Daughters of the Witches of Time begins exactly there.

This new series follows the next generation — the daughters of the original witches — young women born into power, legacy, and expectations they didn’t choose, but cannot escape. Each of them lives in a different century. Each of them faces her own challenges, her own dangers, and her own questions about what it means to carry magic that runs through the blood.
And yet, they are not alone.

One of my favorite elements in this series is the connection between these women. Through a magical mirror hidden deep within castle walls, they are able to see one another, speak to one another, and eventually stand together across time. That bond, that understanding of what it means to live with magic, to inherit something powerful and sometimes frightening, becomes a kind of lifeline.

Because power always draws attention.

The daughters quickly learn that magic does not exist without consequence. There are forces that hunt it, bend it, and would happily destroy anyone who stands in their way. Demons, dark entities, and enemies who have waited far too long for their moment.

And of course, there are the men who stand beside them.

I have always loved writing heroes who are strong, capable, and fiercely devoted — men who don’t need to overshadow the women they love, but instead meet them as equals. In this series, each witch has a guardian. Each guardian carries his own past, his own burden, and his own secrets.

Cian Rafferty, the hero of The Witch and the Gatekeeper, is no exception.

He is a man who has spent his life fighting what he is, believing that his destiny has already cost him too much. He has no intention of embracing it. No intention of risking more.

Until Eilis is taken.

Eilis herself is a healer, a woman who has always put others first, even at the expense of her own heart. She knows her place in the world. She understands what is expected of her.

What she does not expect is to become the center of something far larger than herself.

Their story is one of restraint, of longing, of two people who believe they cannot have one another and who are forced to confront what they are willing to sacrifice when everything is at stake.

At its core, this series is about legacy. About what we inherit. What we fight. What we protect. And what we choose to become.

There will always be danger in these worlds. There will always be enemies to face and battles to fight. But there will also always be love; fierce, unyielding, and worth every risk.

I hope you fall into this new generation as deeply as I did while writing it.

The magic is waiting.
