You can't live off the grid, they'll find you. They have eyes everywhere. They watch the people who watch the rest of us. The only way to stop them is to be like them.
The Malandanti. Official reports describe them as an occult network, organised in a multi-layered cellular structure. They influence politics, commerce, finance, the media, arts and sport. They exist beyond the reaches of the security agencies, they are invisible. But we all experience their presence.
The possibility of their existence was first suspected in 2008 by a police detective based in England. He was the first to use the term Malandanti and suspected their base was Bamberg, Germany. He made too much of what he knew, or what he thought he knew, and in the process lost his entire family.
Now he lives off the grid and he's running out of time.
The Malandanti Conspiracies: Rendition is the preamble to the first full Malandanti novel, The Spires of Bamberg, which is due for release in late 2014. Rendition is a first draft, a work in progress and contains strong language throughout. I'll try to update regularly, preferably once a week.

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
