Seven for a Secret

Is it a good idea to teach a five year-old witch boy death magic? His grandmother thinks so. Seventh-born Gerry Llewellyn might someday need a little extra power to break a curse that has kept his clans of moon witches apart from the source of their strongest magic.

But even the rest of Gerry’s own family can’t agree whether breaking that curse is a good idea. They have peaceful lives, blending in with the rest of humanity, doing much as they please. Why upset things just for the sake of vague promises of fabulous divine gifts…?

Already scarred by family secrets and politics, eight year-old Gerry hates being treated as a miracle child. Now his errant brother is getting married, so the five surviving Llewellyn children have lots to do besides dealing with their emotionally damaged father, mad possibly dangerous mother, death demon siblings, and a sundry lot of fractious relatives.

Gerry thought things couldn’t get much worse…then his sister Finella, the most talented seer in northern England, shares a bizarre vision that leaves everyone dreading what should be a happy event.
