THE PREQUEL OF THE F.L.A.W SERIES The Italians call them strega. The Yoruba of West African call them aje, meaning Mother. Where my mother was from, they called them hexa, and here we call them Witch. Over the centuries, vampires have fought them and fought beside them, bedded them and burned them. Whether adversary or ally, and they have been a force to be reckoned with. Their ancestral magic anchors the city. There's never been one all-powerful witch until Monique, the F.L.A.W. The F.L.A.W has been a powerful source of power for the witches but it only existed in bloods of humans. Monique marks the first supernatural to possess the F.L.A.W powers which finally manifested itself, making her the most powerful witch to have ever existed. When the prophesy of a F.L.A.W with the blood of a witch came about, the two races knew that a preview of a disaster movie will soon hit them. The child's birth would be by far the worst and perhaps the immortals will be the only ones left to argue about it. The most important strategy in this war is not who you are siding with but who you are fighting against.
