When he returns to bury his mother’s ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from his past that has never healed—Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises spanning generations threaten to reveal the truth behind Lily’s mysterious death once and for all.

There are as many love spells as there are people who wish to cast them. The most powerful spells are those that influence the chakras (spiritual pathways) of another or create love bonds between two souls. These spells can be challenging and even dangerous, however, so it is often better to rely on magic that embraces the natural world and only subtly creates the opportunity for others to recognize one's inner beauty. There are also spells that rely on a magical focus (like stones, candles, or mirrors) in order to draw the inherent magical forces into a shape moldable by the spell caster. This manner of spell has been in use for ages and, even in an increasingly cynical society, which has largely turned its back on the spirit world, persist today because of their proven effectiveness. There are spells crafted to find the love of others and to open our souls to the love of self; without the confidence in oneself and the love of oneself, how can one hope to harness the energies needed to gain the love of another? There are also spells designed to request the help of the goddess, in her many forms, should one be able to supplicate to her and prove their cause worthy. Included here are a range of love spells of various type and description. These have been drawn from ancient traditions the world over and some will appeal to certain kinds of casters while others may seem at odds with their nature. You must always remember that casting is done with the heart and soul and that magic exists in the world of spirit, so you should only try the magic that speaks to you on a mystical level. If you cannot believe a spell will work, it most certainly will not. Please read the spells in this book and experiment with them responsibly. Love is the most powerful force in the universe and it is unwise to use magic to toy with it unjustly. Keep your heart pure in your pursuits and let your spirit guide you on a righteous path. Blessed Be! Dayanara Blue Star
