An attorney afraid of her instincts.
A witch scared of her powers.
A monster haunted by his demons.
And the war they can’t win without facing their fears.
New York City attorney Meera O’Connor navigates life according to her carefully curated set of rules. And most definitely doesn’t believe in magic.
Until she learns her new neighbor is on the front lines of a centuries-old battle between beings that shouldn’t exist. A battle in which Meera herself has a role to play, though why and how is a mystery to everyone. Including her.
Struggling to reconcile her pragmatic and dependable rules with this new world of magic – and the attention of a charming photographer who isn’t quite human – Meera begins to fear for her sanity as she becomes embroiled in the midst of a war for life itself. With a magic-fueled Nor’easter set to cripple her city, ruthless forces threatening all she loves, and terrifying new abilities at her fingertips, Meera must decide who she is, who she wants to be, and how far she’s willing to go.
An adult contemporary fantasy with monsters, mayhem, and magic of both the fantastic and everyday varieties, Battle for Terra: The Apprentice is book one in a planned trilogy.
