Branna O’Dwyer has devoted her life to her magick, always dutifully accepting the responsibility that comes along with her ancestral roots as the Dark Witch of Mayo. As a witch, she is skilled in her abilities to concoct potions and write spells and she is a pillar of strength and healing. To family and friends, she is a gifted homemaker, her cottage radiating warmth and comfort. But no amount of magick can help her in the one area she truly struggles – love. Nora Roberts’ Blood Magick is the wickedly dramatic conclusion to The Cousins O’Dwyer trilogy, a series set around the Dark Witches of Mayo and their quest to bring an end to the evil reign of the dark sorcerer Cabhan. It first began with the story of Iona Sheehan, the young American who journeys to Ireland in search of her roots, and then secondly focused on Connor O’Dwyer as he comes to grips with two of the strongest powers he’s ever known: dark magick and true love. The third and final chapter surrounds Branna O’Dwyer, the Dark Witch of Mayo, a conjurer of dark magick who must find a way to destroy the evil Cabhan once and for all.

    Now, there's a reason to be. Lux and his younger brother Lunam enjoy the full freedom of the simple life and all the childhood adventures offered by growing up in a small village in a picturesque glen. Life is tranquil, peaceful, and just about perfect—except for one formidable fact... Every day is followed by night. And, with the night, comes the DARKNESS. Slowly shrouding the valley and relentlessly seeping into every nook and cranny on its nightly rampage, the darkness returns to feast on its victims. No man, woman, child, animal—or even, insect—is safe. The darkness consumes all; the darkness's hunger is never satisfied. When the sun falls from the sky, the villagers, young and old, must take to arms, guarding their homes, loved ones, and livestock with every ray of light they can muster. Even young Lux and Lunam are well-soldiered in their responsibilities to safeguard themselves and their parents during the nightly vigil, the nightly fight to live to see another day. It's always been this way—the truths and ritual passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. No one dares question why. Nothing can change the frightening fact of the lives of the villagers or emancipate them from their singular foe—nothing, except a child's imagination and a curiosity as immutable as the darkness's own appetite. There's just one truth guiding every man, woman, and child to strive to see another day: "Darkness Comes but Once a Night."
