Feather & Stone - Black Branches of the Willows, #2

The shadows are shifting. The boundary has broken. And the darkness is hunting her by name.

Juniper Scott thought uncovering the secrets of her bloodline would finally bring peace to her quiet farmhouse in Draper's Ridge. Instead, accepting her hidden lineage has done the unthinkable—it has turned her into a target.

After accidentally triggering a shocking, raw surge of magic to protect her children, Juniper has spent weeks trying to control the erratic, dangerous powers unlocking inside her flesh. But the mountain offers no sanctuary.

An ancient, malevolent force has locked its sights onto her, launching direct, suffocating attacks to smother her light before she can fully understand what she is.

Juniper discovers she isn't as alone as she fears. Mysterious new allies step out of the shadows of a hidden world, guarding her perimeters with silent, predatory vigilance. She is thrust into a world governed by ancient laws older than the trees- Laws guarded by a shadowy order known as the Keepers.

 She doesn't know if these unnatural protectors are a new threat or her final shield—but as the darkness strikes harder to breach her defenses, Juniper is forced to push past her limitations and accept her place in a secret world she never knew existed.

Dive into Feather and Stone, the high-velocity second book in the addictive Southern Gothic fantasy series, where a mother's awakening forces her onto the frontlines of a forgotten war.
