Where Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley left off, Theresa Chaze’s Dragon Clan series picks up. Strong female characters are led on adventures within and without as they are forced to face others’ bigotries and their own inner doubts. Filled with actual Wiccan rituals and spells, the Dragon Clan Trilogy not only tempts the reader to turn just one more page, but also gives a glimpse into the Earth based religions. Far from perfect, the characters must decide just how much faith they have in the powers of justice or if they want to risk karmic reprisals by putting their magical fingers on the scales.

It calls to Rachael and opens its doors to her. To her it feels like home. But it is more than a cottage, it is a spiritual nexus where three lay lines intersect; it is a natural energy vortex. It is also the scene of a brutal murder and the focal point to local cult’s hatred. Making the cottage her home, Rachael finds herself becoming the catalyst to exposing the murderer, which brings her in the crosshairs of the cult’s violent hatred not only to protect their secret but because the she is another witch. To save herself and all she loves, she is forced to awaken her dragon spirit prematurely and unite it to the energy vortex. She knows what must be done. What she doesn’t know if she can control the flames from within enough to save her from the flames without. (Currently available)

  1. Hi Cheryl,
    Although the name is made up, Coyote Springs is loosely based on two towns, Manistee and Traverse City. I like creating my own town so that I able to create the history.
