Do not worry about tomorrow… for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Life for Marta these past nine months has been full of worry–about her neighbors and their tolerance of her, about her relationship with her beau, Sheriff Bourne, and about warlocks who might wage war against her. But when a warlock finds her, she escapes his clutches. Since the death curse doesn’t work on him, he also gets away. Now that her best weapon has been neutralized, Marta has one more thing to worry about.
The new warlock is another’s henchman, and, together, they have gathered a formidable army. They even capture witches, using magical collars to make them do the warlocks’ bidding. The next time a warlock comes around, Greta, Beth, and Bourne are all captured. Unable to track them down on her own, Marta seeks the help of a young Native American woman named Wind Rock, who is almost as strong as Marta in the ways of magic. Along the way, Marta meets others who can help… if only she can convince them her cause is just. While she tries to unravel why the death curse won’t work, Marta faces many dangers in her quest to rescue Sheriff Bourne, Greta, and Beth. Can she succeed on this dangerous quest with the help of her newfound friends?
