The Witches of Pink

On a stormy February night in 1957, tragedy, magic, and destiny collide on Rattlesnake Road... When Calista Elizabeth Burroughs discovers her parents dead in a car mysteriously wrapped around an oak tree that shouldn’t exist, her world is turned upside down. As the rain falls in curtains around her, Calista realizes the impossible has happened—and life in Pink, Oklahoma, will never be the same again.

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Alice should be celebrating. She can finally vote, she’s almost finished high school in Tecumseh, Oklahoma, and her family and twin brother, Alistair, have thrown a party to remember. But beneath her smile, Alice hides a growing fear—she might be pregnant. As a young witch, she knows there are ways to handle such things. She vows to stay away from Johnny Ackersly, her charming but reckless boyfriend, and plans to brew a tea that will bring her body back into balance. Then Johnny gives her a gift—a necklace strung with ruby-red beads.

Ezra was the favorite science teacher in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. However, today, he felt the sorrow of his parents' death. He sat down, staring into the empty classroom. He brushed away a tear as he realized it had been nearly eight long, harrowing years since his parents had died in a horrific explosion caused by a tiny red bead created by the demon Draco. It wasn’t the first time the demon had caused the family of Ezra Baggersly sorrow. Ezra knew time was a merciless master and marched onward despite his grief. Still, his life required him to deal with the living, including his students.

When Vera—tall, brilliant of mind, and newly proud of her magefolk heritage—marries Mr Faulkner and leaves Pink, Oklahoma, for a fresh start in Geneva with her husband, she hopes distance will dull the shadows that have haunted her. Instead, she carries with her a secret that could shatter everything: she is pregnant, and she cannot tell whether the child growing inside her is her husband’s or the result of a brutal assault by the demon Dougal—the same creature that has terrorised the townsfolk of Pink, Oklahoma.
