Salt and Stone: A Short Paranormal Mystery (The Hollow Creek Coven) (Hollow Creek Coven Novellas Book 1)

Three sisters. One crumbling town. And a family secret that refuses to stay buried.

Sage Vance has spent her life holding up the roof. As the archivist for the Hollow Creek Heritage Museum, she watches her hometown literally dissolve around her—wifi signals die, milk curdles instantly, and the walls of the museum have started sweating a thick, black sludge. When her grandmother, Nana Rose, passes away, the magical knot protecting the town snaps, and the “Rot” begins to pour in.

But Sage isn’t the only one left to pick up the pieces.

Across the country, two strangers feel the snap. Sloane Kincaid, a Chicago punk rocker who tends to blow up sound systems with her bare hands, and Maeve Thomas, a Seattle nurse who accidentally disintegrates flowers when she’s stressed, are summoned to Hollow Creek.

Arriving at Vance Manor, they discover a shocking truth: they aren’t strangers. They are Sage’s triplet sisters, separated at birth to hide them from a darkness that has been hunting their bloodline for decades.

Now, trapped by a magical inheritance clause that forces them to live together for one full lunar cycle, the sisters must learn to control powers they never wanted. Sage is the Anchor, Sloane is the Spark, and Maeve is the Flow.

They have twenty-eight days to re-weave the protection around the town. But the Rot is hungry, the house is growing new rooms overnight, and the sisters are just as likely to blow up the local diner as they are to save it.
