Know More
Adrienne Morales is a hunted woman.
Stalked by Voids—people immune to magic—and pursued by a deadly past, Adrienne wants nothing more than to avoid spells and sorcery. Her powers as an enchantress make that impossible. Every few days she must release the magic gathering around her, or it’ll steal her sanity. The only way to stay alive is to practice her magic in secret, hiding enchantments in works of art she sells in her craft store.
When a firebreathing psychopath controlled by enchantment tries to burn down her store, Adrienne unleashes her powers to stop him. Unfortunately her battle has a witness—Adrienne’s handsome business partner. Turns out he’s a Void, and sworn to a Union that executes rogue magic users. Worse, the firebreather isn’t the only victim to pop up around San Francisco. Someone is using magic to create monsters and destroy minds, and the Void Union wants them dead.
Now Adrienne must capture the rogue enchanter before they ruin more innocent lives, and before the Voids punish her for the rogue’s crimes. But Voids aren’t the worst thing chasing her. Every enchantment she crafts makes it more likely her past will track her down. And if it does, madness will be the kindest fate awaiting her.
A Word from the Author
When I was a little girl, I loved building my own toys out of cardboard, string, and hot glue. Hours passed while I sat on the floor, burning glue toasting the air as I lost myself in creativity.
That passion fueled the creation of Adrienne Morales, the heroine of Enchantress Undercover. She’s an artist, not a warrior. She wields a glue gun, not a handgun. Her magic is her only real weapon, but half the time it’s fighting against her. She’s haunted by her past, hunted by the leaders of the paranormal world, and mistrusted even by her allies.
Despite all this, she continues to create. That’s what this book is about: making art in the middle of adversity. Turning trash into beauty. Fighting the unfairness of an antagonistic world to make your mark and help others do the same.
