Sydney Marin series
Trapped within the confines of her home for nearly sixteen years, Sydney Marin yearns for the vibrant world of Slateville, a realm hidden from human eyes and teeming with witches, vampires, and creatures of legend. When a forbidden spell to summon her parents goes awry, she finds herself entangled in a web of ancient secrets and unexpected encounters. What truths will she uncover about her past, her family, and the mystical world she's been shielded from?The air in New Orleans hung heavy with an unacknowledged magic, a secret kept from the bustling human world. Along a seemingly ordinary street, a hidden entrance to another realm lay dormant, visible only to those who belonged to the supernatural. This was Slateville, a world of whispers and shadows, where the paranormal thrived unseen.

The familiar street morphed, stretching endlessly, the silence pressing in around her. When the street sign finally materialized, it screamed 'Slateville' in bold, blood-red letters. Fear, cold and sharp, pierced her. As a silent whisper brushed her ear, she bravely asked, "Who's that?" only to gasp as words materialized beneath the sign: 'Beware of this town.' Her phone clattered to the ground.
