The Working (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781971520100)

A modern coven must thwart a looming eco-cataclysm and find the key to the bright futures we need.

Betsy's a modern-day witch with a ageless problem: she's worried about screwing up her coven's ritual. Again. But the coven faces a bigger issue-the destruction of their home thanks to a fracked gas pipeline. And then an even bigger problem-a greed-fueled entity will soon obliterate Earth's ability to support life.

Follow the coven as they sort among allies and threats, human and ethereal, and seek the magic to avert the cataclysm. Fans of The Once and Future Witches will love The Working for its feminist, justice-seeking, diverse cast and tilt towards hope.
