Revealing their magic risks all their lives…
Marianne came to the café often, especially whenever she wants to calm down. And on this particular day, she needs extra help calming down. Chocolate muffin help. Fortunately, her favorite escape, and the lovely witch proprietor who owns it, are only too happy to supply the coffee and muffin. Unfortunately, Marianne’s little sister Eunice shows up before Marianne has finished her coffee. Less than optimal timing.
Still, Marianne has words for Eunice. Whose ambitions and carelessness could expose all three sisters to the world, risking everything they’ve all worked so hard to build. As magical weavers, they had to be careful what they put out into the world. And some mistakes couldn’t be taken back.
Because if the wrong kind of magical clothing got into the wrong hands, disasters happened. And people died.
***
If Marianne's story got you a little curious about our weaver, she is one of Cary Redmond's best friends and so appears in many of the Cary Redmond stories. There's even a story for when Cary and Marianne first meet--well not quite their first meeting but you'll have to read the story--WHEN CARY MET MARIANNE. And if you want to know what happened with the goblin king, and see our sisters working together, try CARY VS THE GOBLIN KING. You can also see Marianne doing her thing when she has Cary's back in CARY AT THE HAUNT AND HOWL. Then dive into the main novels in the series for more Marianne and Cary!
