Dancing with Shades - Council of Covens, #0

A dark spell that promises sweet memories. Will she give up her future just to endure her present? At the turn of 1920, magical prohibition went into effect. A year later, human private detective-in-training Anna Caill needs a spell. She knows what it will cost, and she's ready to take the risks, despite the warnings. She can't survive another day swallowed by the despair she's felt since losing her soul mate, and this spell is the only chance she has of living any sort of functional life for the people who still care for her.
The steep consequences are tomorrow's problem. As Anna gets her first hit of the dark spell that even witches hesitate to use, she finds the cold peace she needs to take on cases in this urban fantasy noir.*Prequel to In Search of a Witch's Soul
