    About this ebook

    The reality may change everything.

    Things in Northern New Jersey just got a little more intense for Angela Tanner. She is a Witch who hasn't come into her powers yet, but things go full speed ahead when her father is accused of a crime he didn't commit.

    Enter Jody Nieves. The tall, dark, and powerful Guardian is sent to fetch her and observe as she tries to clear her father's name. He does more than that, he wakes up a part of her she never dreamed existed.

    Can she save her father in time, trust that Jody's attentions are genuine, and discover the truth about her own powers?

      The smile on my face left as we turned the corner away from the holiday festivities of the DiPaolo-Kelly home. I love Thanksgiving. It was such a warm and homey holiday. Well, for other people it was. As my driver accelerated the car my stomach twisted itself in knots. I really didn’t want to go home. What was the point? No one would be there anyway.

      I brushed a hand over my head in a vain attempt to control my overzealous curls, but they just weren’t havin’ any of that. My hair had a mind of its own. I used to wear it long and pulled back in a super tight, thick braid every single day of grade school.

      That was my mom’s rule. She was a little strict about appearance. But once I entered high school, I had a revelation. My head, my hair, my rules. I went to a salon that was owned by a close friend of the family and had her chop it off. Every year I did the same thing, right before school started in September, I cut it just above my shoulders.

      Of course when Sherry styled it, it looked awesome! On days when I tried to style my hair, it sort of just curled all over the place. I usually threw on a wide headband to keep it out of my face, especially in school. I’m a junior this year. I go to Sacred Heart Preparatory School in Northern, New Jersey. It’s a Catholic high school, but it’s co-ed, thank the goddess!

      Oh yeah, I’m a Witch. I come from a long line of Witches. We are called the Coven Realta. Loosely translated it means Coven of Light or Starlight. We are small and we follow both Wiccan and Asatru practices, though a lot of what we do is not public knowledge. I am not sure of my powers yet, I’m still young and not everyone has a talent or gift for magic.

      Lately, I’ve been more and more afraid that I might fall into that category. The unmagicked in our Coven are treated the same as everyone. I’m lucky in that aspect. I’ve heard of Covens who banish their unmagicked or worse, kill them. But those are just stories, I think.

      Anyway, we of the Coven Realta are supposed to be in touch with the natural rhythm of the life cycles of all living things, plant animal and mineral. Nurturers, gardeners, healers, that type of thing. But not me. I've always been more comfortable behind a keyboard than at the other end of a shovel or rake.

      I’ve been trying to figure out just what I am good at these past few months with help of course. You see, Sherry isn’t just my stylist, she is my mentor. She used my Dad’s firm a few years back to help out with some legal documents. She came to our house once to sign papers when I was about eight. That’s when we first met. She took me under her wing, and I was forever grateful.

      My father is a very successful businessman. What it is that he does exactly, I am not really sure. His firm dabbles in law, accounting, real estate, public relations, and just about everything there is. His company is called Tanner Global Enterprises, or TGE for short. He has offices in a huge high rise in Manhattan. I don’t get to see him very much, but we have a good relationship.

      I know he is a gifted Witch and I am really hoping that I take after him. We have a huge orchard of apple and pear trees behind our home that he tends. His success in business is directly related to those trees. The way I understand it is this, a healthy orchard for my father, means a healthy company. Cool, right?

      Anyway, whatever relationship I have with my Dad, it is the total opposite with my mom. She is not very gifted in magic. I was seven the first time I understood that she used flirtation and desire to get what she wanted. I thought she must be so powerful to get so many people to treat her like a princess, but as I got older, I understood it a little better. She never seems to enjoy our Solstice gatherings or any of our Coven’s celebrations. She is sort of vain and silly, I guess. All I know is I never seem to please her.

      She is tall and thin, willowy, I guess. She has lovely straight blonde hair, big blue eyes and a pouty mouth. She looks like a supermodel. I look nothing like her. My father isn’t so bad either. He is also tall and thin, with jet black hair and dark eyes. He’s really handsome, but more importantly he is sweet and loving. Mom, not so much.

      I don’t know who I look like. Maybe some forgotten aunt or uncle? Oh, well. After the fiasco that was my six-week stint at fat camp the past summer I have learned to accept myself for who I am. I am 5’5" tall (or short depending on my mood), I weigh 145 pounds, and you got it, I am a ginger. A serious one.

      My
