The Witches of Scotland: The Edinburgh Files - Book 6 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915524225)

Some wounds don't bleed. They unbalance everything around them.

Edinburgh's witches work quietly, stabilising a world most people never realise is fragile. David Hunter and Jessica Campbell are two of them, operating on the edge of ordinary life with the support of allies, mentors, and the shadowy Cerberus Syndicate that monitors supernatural disruption across Scotland.

David has power, experience, and the freedom to walk away if he chooses. But when a witch leaves the coastal village of Saint Monans without warning, the fallout is subtle and disturbing. Time slips. People lose hours. Normal life begins to fray at the edges, and no one understands why.

As David and Jessica investigate, they discover the truth behind their role. Witches aren't guardians or enforcers. They are stabilising nodes in a vast, invisible network. When one disappears, the cost is paid by ordinary people who never agreed to bear it.

David can still leave. No one will stop him.
