RiverWatch Thresholds

Beneath ordinary cities, living rivers of magic carry ghosts, monsters, memories, and secrets powerful families have buried for generations.

When Montreal baker Mira Faucher discovers she can walk those hidden currents, and Alabama ghost hunter Rachel Anders learns that her entire life was built on a stolen identity, two strangers are drawn toward the truth connecting them. Across haunted houses, broken ley lines, ancient courts, and thresholds into places that should not exist, they must decide what makes a family, what power is worth becoming, and how far they will go to protect the people they choose.

Four novels. One story that grows from intimate mysteries into a struggle that could reshape both worlds.

Mira Faucher knows how to manage a busy Montreal bakery, temper chocolate, and become a black cat when human company grows tiresome. Magic is supposed to remain a small, practical part of her life.

Then a vanished witch leaves a sigil on Mira’s skin, the bakery’s wards begin revealing secrets, and the city’s ley lines start recognizing her.

Each mystery draws Mira farther beyond the safety of flour-dusted kitchens and rooftop paths, toward forgotten magic, a dangerous inheritance, and someone who has been waiting for her abilities to awaken. Opening a threshold may be easy. Surviving what waits beyond it is another matter.

Read the first chapter.

Rachel Anders built a career investigating ghosts because the dead were easier to understand than the living. Then the ghosts begin reaching for her, her golden retriever turns into a bear, and a stranger calls her by a name she has never heard.

Something inside Rachel is waking: a hunger for energy, a talent for carrying the dead, and memories that could destroy everything she believes about her childhood.

From haunted Alabama mansions to dying Appalachian towns and the storm-lashed Oregon coast, Rachel follows the evidence toward an impossible conclusion. She did not merely lose her past. Someone stole it, and the family she never knew may be the most dangerous haunting of all.

Finding each other should have ended the mystery. Instead, it places a target on both sisters.

Rachel can hear the hidden structure of magic beginning to fail. Mira can step into its currents and feel the living intelligence beneath them. As ley lines fracture, ghosts are weaponized, and an old enemy moves openly against them, their uneasy new bond may be the only force no one has accounted for.

From Montreal and New Orleans to a Chicago built over ancient magical machinery, Mira and Rachel must learn to trust one another before the widening fractures swallow citiFinding each other should have ended the mystery. Instead, it places a target on both sisters.

Mira wants a safe home for her child. Rachel wants one life that does not turn her into someone else’s weapon. Neither is going to get what she wants.

When a birth awakens an ancient threshold and the river answers, a private family crisis becomes a struggle involving human courts, magical dynasties, and a newly restored empire. Forced to flee to northern Japan, the sisters discover that the forces pursuing them are connected to secrets buried long before either of them was born.

To protect a child, a vulnerable young emperor, and the damaged ley lands themselves, Mira and Rachel must return to where the story began and decide what they owe their blood, their power, and each other.
