Caress of a Witch
In a realm where the shadows whisper secrets, her quest for the truth becomes a battle for survival.
Kate Winter is desperate for a more exciting life. So when a fortune teller reveals that her family is guarding dark secrets, she embarks on a daring voyage to uncover the past. But she soon discovers the fortune teller is hiding secrets of her own, and she has put herself in danger of a horrifying fate.
Alone and penniless in a city that is strange to her, she goes to the only place she knows – the Cross Bones graveyard – to call on the spirits of those who have gone before. Caught up in a battle that began in her grandfather’s time, Kate’s only chance is to draw on the power of the witchblood that runs in her veins.
With the final confrontation approaching, can she put an end to her family’s curse, or will she die a witch’s death at the fortune teller’s hand?
Caress of a Witch is the third standalone book in the suspenseful Darkness Rising series. If you like dark magic and captivating fantasy, then you will love S.G. Slade’s seductive novel.
Content Warning: strong sex and the occult.
S.G. Slade
S.G. Slade was born and raised in the historic city of Bristol in England, and now lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, son, and a very small dog called Livvy. She has worked variously as a secretary, a teacher, a shop assistant and a nurse, but lifelong obsessions with books, history, and magic have never waned. When she isn’t reading or writing (which isn’t often), you can find her either doing yoga, going for long walks, or watching old movies. Touch of a Witch is her first historical fantasy book.
She uses the pen name S.G. Slade for her fantasy books, and also writes Historical Fiction under the name Samantha Grosser.
