Magic Made Me Do it

They say witches shouldn't interfere with mortal lives. Peyton Rowe never learned how to listen.

When a teenage boy lies dying from a senseless shooting, Peyton breaks one of the oldest magical laws-the Witch's Rede-and heals him. But saving a life comes with a cost. His reckless act exposes forbidden power, draws the attention of his mentor, and awakens something dark that has been sleeping beneath the world.

Now hunted by both the Conclave and a rising Coven of Malice, Peyton is thrust into a dangerous journey that spans worlds-guided only by his flawed magic, his defiant heart, and the two men who challenge his destiny:

Alex, the former doctor who fears healing more than death itself.

Khari, the mystical ruler of a hidden African realm whose faith in Peyton burns brighter than his crown.

As Hellhounds prowl, gods whisper, and forbidden spells unravel reality, Peyton must face the truth he's long denied: he is heir to the First Mages and bound to the Spark-the source of all creation. But with power comes sacrifice, and when the people he loves are cursed with death, Peyton is forced to make an impossible choice between fate and feeling, love and loss, salvation and sin.

Magic can heal-or it can ruin you.

And for Peyton Rowe, it might just do both.
