Crossing the Witchline — T.L. Brown

Would you give your light to the one who needs it the most and deserves it the least?  Ever since Lucie Bellerose returned to the Empire, she's lived amid chaos. Now, three months after a devastating battle in the Walled Zone, she's desperate to get into the Above to find her lost magic man. With her best friend still missing and her membership at the Congress of Empire Witches suspended, Lucie's on her own. A glimmer of hope comes in the feline form of a shapeshifter, a young man who set fire to the Crimson Stone. But as Lucie works to put the three pieces of the gemstone back together, she learns her best-laid plans might magically backfire.  Down to her last resort, Lucie seeks help from an unpredictable demon – a man from her past who is held captive in the Below. A deal is made, but can Lucie trust him to keep his end of the bargain? Will the darkness overshadow her light?  Crossing the Witchline is book two in the adult dark fantasy Bellerose Witchline series, where friends and enemies aren't always who they seem to be, and even a bad man can get a second chance to do life right.  As Lucie says, it's complicated.  Recommended readers: Adults 18+ years.  In Crossing the Witchline, book 2 in the adult dark fantasy Bellerose Witchline series, you'll find: Bittersweet ReunionsAlpha (hole) MalesComplicated Relationships Light vs. Dark (and the gray area in between)Second ChancesRedemption (sort of)ForgivenessSome Heat and SteamRevenge...and One Unforgettable Ending! * If you're a fan of shows like Discovery of Witches, Supernatural, and True Blood, or books by A.J.
