The Butterfly Witch
Description
1612 - Born into a powerful line of witches, Gwen has always been a disappointment, a girl without magic in a community that reveres it. When news of the Pendle witch trials reaches her coven, they cast a desperate spell to shelter orphaned magic. But a cruel twist of fate leaves Gwen to bear the burden alone, cursed to carry magic she cannot wield - and hunted by those who would claim it.
For centuries, Gwen has survived by never staying long enough to belong. Immortal, hunted, and bound to a power she cannot use, she moves through history unseen, watching lives begin and end while her own stretches endlessly on. Duty has kept her alive. Distance has kept her safe.
1976 - Haunted by his service in Vietnam, private investigator Dan is barely scraping by. When a wealthy client hires him to find a missing woman, he almost refuses - until he witnesses a murder that changes everything.
The deeper Dan digs, the more he realises that Gwen is the woman time forgot. And if his client finds her first, the magic she has guarded for centuries - and Gwen herself - may be lost forever.
As past and present collide, Gwen must choose between the duty that has kept her safe and the love that could finally set her free.
A sweeping tale of love, loss, and the courage it takes to claim your place in the world.
