The deeper she digs into the past, the more dangerous the present becomes.
 
Two months after completing her contract with High Priestess, Keres Von Kesting has finally secured her citizenship and returned to a life of peace and quiet. But there’s still one thing dragging her back into the shadows, even though she knows she should leave it alone: The journal from Mama Reyes.
 
After Petra uncovers Keres’ name written in the journal—dated over five thousand years ago—it sets Keres on a spiraling path through buried history that offers more questions than answers. Determined to understand how her name ended up in a relic written long before her birth, she throws herself into research, chasing fragments of lost knowledge and ancient power.
 
Meanwhile, the rebellion to the south, led by Nemesis, continues to grow, and soon its leader, Alastor, and the High Priestess of Cristata both return to Keres’s life, each vying for her alliance with promises of something she never dreamed she’d find: answers to who, and what, she truly is.
 
As ancient magic stirs and war settles on the horizon, Keres must decide where her loyalty lies—before someone decides for her.
 
Shadewitch is the second installment in the War of the Old Gods series, where trust must be earned, history is a weapon, and secrets won’t stay buried.
