LITTLE WITCH, H.B

Born in 1988, Mercy Lynch was delivered into a family where mercy was a weapon and love was a violent tremor that never let her go.

Branded a "little witch" by her brother, she carried the dirty blood of her lineage, stained forever by an inescapable family curse.

Her life was defined by one exception: Hughie Biggs. Their decade-long love story was a toxic, all-consuming cycle that ended in 2004 with a trauma so profound it left both their hearts destroyed on the floor.

Hughie walked away, trading the dangerous shadow of Mercy for a comfortable, acceptable lie. He tried to move on, but his gaze was forever fixed on the ghost he'd left behind.

In 2005, the quiet ends.

Mercy Lynch, his forbidden truth, walks into his school, bringing the entire weight of their shared history with her.

As the horrifying secrets of that final night are exposed, Hughie is forced into a brutal reckoning.

He must confront the darkness he ran from and realize that Mercy-the danger, the violence, the tragedy-is the only person who can truly set his soul on fire.
