Blackthorn — Jamie Ott

After spending many years living under the guise of a mortal, Lin is happy to be openly magical in a town of free-practicing witches and wizards, Blackthorn.

Despite her being magical like the residents of the town, she has a secret that makes her different.

As Lin struggles with hiding her true nature, Golshem, the leader of the Wacken clan, has his own ideas of what Blackthorn magic should be.

When the Queen of the 'Tween' holds Lin captive, she learns why she's different from others. But when the Queen keeps her too long, she pays a hefty price.
