Prodigal Daughters - Hardcover

by Micah House (Author), Paul Palmer-Edwards (Cover Design by)

The Blanchard Witches: Prodigal Daughters is a richly woven tale of magic, family, and resilience, set in the mysterious and charming Daihmler County, Alabama. At its heart is the Blanchard family, a dynasty of powerful witches whose bonds of love and loyalty are as strong as the magic they wield.

As the story unfolds, Olympia Blanchard, the formidable 85-year-old matriarch, anchors the family as they navigate the challenges of love, loss, and the high stakes of their magical heritage. Her children and grandchildren each carry their own burdens: Salem, a grieving widow learning to rebuild her life; Demitra, a devoted mother navigating new love despite lingering grief for her late husband; and Fable, a young woman hiding an unplanned pregnancy-complicated by the dark truth that the baby's father is a supernatural being who nearly destroyed the Blanchards.

The novel's central mystery begins when Nacaria, Olympia's youngest daughter, stirs from a two-decade-long coma, setting off a chain of events that threatens to unearth buried truths and expose the family to a malevolent enemy-the wife of the father of Nacaria's children.

As the family unravels the tangled threads of their mistakes, they are thrust into a battle for their very survival. It is not merely their lives on the line; some Blanchards are going to have to decide if they live by the very rules of right and wrong they have long protected.

With Southern flair and a vibrant ensemble of complex, relatable characters, Prodigal Daughters explores the lengths we go to protect those we love, even when the cost may be our own undoing.
