It's modern-day England. Witches are hidden in plain sight, along cobbled shopping streets and abandoned buildings. Everything is different - except the witch trials. They are happening again: witches are being burned at the stake and nobody understands why. 

Nobody but Devan Lee. She has seen the truth, and she chooses to run from it and straight into the protection of Greer Reid. The problem with darkness, though, is that it follows you everywhere. What happens when it catches up to you and the one you love with all of its secrets in tow?

The Green Witch by IanReeve216

The Green Witches were once admired and respected members of the community. They were a bridge between the human world and the world of nature until King Roderick tried to enlist them in his war with the neighbouring kingdom of Berkanol. When they refused, the King, fearing they would use their powers against him, declared them to be enemies of the Kingdom and ordered them arrested and killed. Today, the few that remain survive by hiding, forever fearing discovery. Sixteen year old Tala Viddyr is one of those survivors. She lives alone in a cottage in the forest after her father walked out and her mother died of the fever. A young woman living alone will be sure to attract the attention of the witchhunters, though. To hide she has to appear normal, which means she has to marry someone and play the role of wife and mother. She chooses Seventeen year old Dougal Tanner, a boy she likes and who has tried to court her a number of times but for whom she has no real feelings. She hopes that love will come later, but beginning a relationship with him means she has to make a difficult choice. Should she try to hide the truth from him her entire life, or tell him what she is and take the risk that he will betray her to the witchhunters?
