The Magic of Fireflies by Jami Taylor
Inspired by the true story of Grace Sherwood who was convicted of witchcraft in the Virginia Colony in 1706, J. M. Taylor's richly researched debut novel combines history and local legend with enchanting characters bound by secrets, both human and magical.


Avalena Grey's past has followed her to the Virginia Colony where she learns that magic is real, witchcraft is powerful, and love burns bright.

Lena's world is turned upside down when her beloved mother is burned by a witch-fearing mob. She finds shelter at Galen Cottage with the handsome Thomas Blackburn and is tempted to stay, but she knows it will only put him in danger as well. As the daughter of a witch, she may never be safe again.

Fleeing to the colony of Virginia is the only way to avoid her mother's fate. As Mrs. Millner's companion, no one knows who she really is. It's a chance for a new start, away from accusations of evil spells and fatal magic.

But when Grace Sherwood is accused of witchcraft, Lena discovers that not everyone is who they seem.


The Magic of Fireflies combines the previously published duology Woods and Water.
