Pre-Order for Late 2025 release

**Sequel to the Dark and Sinister Horror Novel, ‘Coven’** The narrative unfolds with the awakening of Thorne House, heralding the resurgence of the epitome of malevolence, Teddy Mayfield. 

 

After decades of dormancy, poised for new prey, a formidable force emerges in the form of supernatural twins, Jenny and Nicholas Rickman. As they approach their sixteenth birthday, the twins begin to harness their newly discovered powers while adapting to life in the quaint town of Maplewood, Maine, USA. 

 

This transition is soon shadowed by an insidious darkness that infiltrates the community, commencing with the mysterious murder of Kirsty Hollings, whose body inexplicably vanishes. The ensuing chaos takes aim at the offspring of town leaders and their peers, with each incident intricately connected to a horrific event that transpired thirty years prior—a time intimately linked to the town's clandestine group known as the Secret Six. 

 

This council is dedicated to controlling the malign influence and preserving the townsfolk’s ignorance, yet vengeance from the depths calls forth a reckoning. Now, the responsibility shifts to the next generation. Together with Jenny and Nicholas, they must thwart Teddy Mayfield’s ambition to resurrect the ‘COVEN’ and confront the ancient evil that lurks beneath the murky depths of Maplewood Lake. Historically, the town was referred to as ‘Wickenwood’, a haven for witches and warlocks who exploited the rich deposits of Hag Stone nestled in the heart of the surrounding forest. 

 

Thirty years prior, a coven residing in Thornton House terrorised the community until the townspeople retaliated. In a desperate bid, the witches resorted to their darkest magic; their leader culminated in a twisted creation by transforming her mentally unstable son—confined to a psychiatric institution following a series of sexual assaults attributed to a Vietnam War-related brain injury—into a hybrid of demon and warlock. The timing proved impeccable as the coven’s leader and the surviving witches were ultimately vanquished. However, Teddy Mayfield escaped to exact his revenge upon the town. 

 

The Secret Six managed to contain him, bringing about a deceptive calm that prevailed for thirty years. The witches, though buried and constrained—each with their heart extracted and preserved in glass jars—remained restless, their heartbeat synchronising ominously with the rhythm of Thornton House. Now, the onus for survival lies with the youth and the newly appointed council. 

 

Can the twins and their allies succeed in preventing Mayfield and the witches from unleashing further bloodshed? Ebook: £5.99
