"The holidays are upon Charm Cove and Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in magic as she manages Persnickety Potions & Gifts for her family. One evening after a busy day, she assumes she must be way too tipsy from her wine when she hears a commotion down at the beach by her home. Nope. Not too tipsy from wine. Lo and behold, a boat was dashed against the rocky coastline in the darkness. That's enough news by itself, but even worse, the three passengers who were believed to have been on the boat have vanished into thin air. So has the man who runs the lighthouse. To top it all off, Beacon's Charm Lighthouse is broken. That should be impossible because it runs on magic. Moira is chasing down the leads to find everyone who's missing and get the magic to work for the lighthouse again. Turns out when something runs on magic, the usual tricks don't fix it. The witchy families of Charm Cove find themselves fending off curious queries from officials about just what's wrong with their town's lighthouse. Meanwhile, throngs of visitors crowd the streets, buying up holiday magic by the bottle. Moira's destiny is bearing down upon her. Will she meet her fate in time for Christmas or not?"

Green. Miles away from town or city, and centuries away from civilization, three witches dance around a great brass cauldron, singing songs of horror and hatred. The Crone raises her voice to ask: “When shall we three meet again?” … only for the cauldron to emit a thick, poisonous smoke, sending her, and her fellow actresses, fleeing for their lives. For the director, it’s the last straw. Macbeth is famously a cursed play, but the incident, not the first in a long line of creepy events, makes him wonder if someone—or something—is trying to sabotage the play. The show must go on! But not if the forces of darkness are determined for it not to. Talented actress Diana Hunt, hired to give her Lady Macbeth, knows just the man to turn to for help: her partner in crime-solving, handsome young bishop Alistair Kincaid, whose help investigating a series of seemingly supernatural murders has earned them the nickname the Holy Terrors.

Green’s urban fantasy novels, Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett, and Ben Aaronovitch, as well as those who enjoy American Horror Story, The X-Files, and murder mysteries with a supernatural twist."
