Honey from a Lion's Skull
In the shadow of her broken marriage, Lily Bloodstone thought she had finally escaped the man who haunted her every step. But when her ex-husband threatens to take away what matters most-their teenage daughter Serena-Lily finds herself backed into a corner, her limited finances becoming a weapon against her.
Seeking refuge in her childhood home, Lily returns to her mother Martha's embrace, hoping to find a moment's peace among the whispering pines and humming beehives. Martha is no ordinary beekeeper, though; she's a witch whose ancient bond with the bees goes deeper than honey and wax. For generations, her family has aided the bees in their eternal struggle against the brutal hornet swarms that threaten their delicate kingdom.
As summer unfolds, young Serena discovers there's more to her grandmother's bee yards than simple hives. Caught between her warring parents and the age-old conflict of bee versus hornet, she must navigate the bitter sweetness of growing up while learning that sometimes the most precious honey comes from the most dangerous places-even a lion's skull.
In this spellbinding tale of family, nature, and resilience, three generations of women must confront their own demons while standing together against forces both natural and supernatural. Because sometimes, the real magic lies not in the spells we cast, but in the bonds we forge when everything threatens to fall apart.
