The Coven grows and so do their problems...

The Coven is a special group of witches given charge of the manor on Genum Island, and Talis is considered the head and strongest of it. Joined by his sister, Teryn, and her husband, Cian, they protect their magic based home from the forces of darkness who seek the mysterious power of their home. It's all routine, until Talis' old crush shows up with a strong desire to take the head witch for himself.

Dion has come to terms with what he wants, and that's Talis. He has a lot to make up for, but with him comes trouble. Hot on his tail is his ex-girlfriend, and with her is a demon who has a craving for souls and a rise to her former glory.

The Coven has no choice but to stand against the greatest threat they've ever faced. How far will they go to save a soul?

The life of a witch is ever changing.

After the greatest test the Coven has ever faced, Talis and Dion settle in happily married life. But Talis is the head of the Coven, and his life will never be simple. He has responsibilities far above and beyond what he had anticipated and ever increasing powers to master.

With all this, there is the certainty that darkness never sleeps, and now comes a true test of more than just ability, but the strength of his will. As Teryn and Cian prepare to welcome a new addition to the family, Talis and Dion's work just begins as insecurity and outside forces come together to threaten their marriage.

Beneath it all is a sinister force older and more powerful than any ever known, threatening not only to tear them all apart but the world as they know it.

Teryn and Cian walked into the kitchen at the same time as Talis and Dion.

“So, did anyone actually cook today?” Talis asked.

“Sleep sounded like a better idea,” Teryn replied.

“So, we’re making sandwiches then?” Dion asked.

Cian went to the refrigerator and peered inside. “We’ve got leftover baked chicken. Sounds like a plan.”

Companionable silence descended as they worked together to fix their easy meal. They stood around the kitchen island to fix their sandwiches and to eat.

“So, this is cozy,” Teryn ventured.

“It’s weird,” Talis muttered.

“Normal is overrated, remember?” Cian reminded him of his own casual saying.

“Ok, true, but it’s weird knowing we were all doing the same thing and had the same idea after,” Talis replied.

“Pretty sure there were some differences,” Dion added.

“Sex, shower, deep emotional conversation we wouldn’t normally have, then feed,” Teryn listed.

“Ok, that’s beyond weird. It’s creepy,” Dion told her.

“But it explains so much.” Talis smirked at his sister. “My loving sister is already getting mood swings, and she had an emotional moment that I picked up on to have my own.”

Teryn flipped him off and Cian laughed.

“Someone fill me in,” Dion requested. “I’ve clearly missed something.”

“Teryn’s pregnant,” Talis said simply.

“Gods I hate men,” Teryn griped before taking an aggressive bite out of her sandwich.

“So, what happened?” Talis asked her.

Teryn refused to answer, instead just glaring at him.

“The button broke on her jeans as she was trying to get out of them,” Cian answered for her.

Teryn scowled. “Why would you tell Talis that? I’ll never hear the end of it.”

“I fail to see why I’d have anything to say on that,” Talis said with mock indignation. “Gaining weight is natural when you’re pregnant.”

“Bite me, jackass. What was your moment about?” she demanded.

Talis took a page out of her book and refused to answer, so Dion did it for him.

“Anthony came up in conversation.”

Teryn smirked at her brother. “Explain that, jerk.”

“Oh fun, I see you’ve entered into full bitch mode,” Talis said sarcastically.

“I’m pregnant, you dick. I’ve got a reason. What’s your excuse?”

“Empath,” Talis said simply.

“It’s also who he is as a person,” Cian added.

Talis flipped him off. “That’s the last time I’ll be on your side for anything.”

“That still makes you a dick,” Cian replied.

“Why do we never have adult conversations?” Dion wondered aloud.

“Because Talis is a dick, Cian’s an asshole, and I’m stuck with both of them,” Teryn supplied.

“And you’re still a bitch,” Talis added.

Teryn shrugged. “At least I’m the head bitch in charge.”

“So, you’re taking over as head of the Coven then?” Talis asked.

“In charge of the manor,” Teryn corrected.

“That doesn’t help me at all.” Talis bit into his sandwich.

Dion shook his head. “I married into a family of lunatics.”

“I said the same thing,” Cian agreed.

It's been several months since the noble sacrifice of Talis to save his family and the world. Dion, his husband, has been contemplating changes. It's painful to be in his husband's home with his family while he isn't there to enjoy. He's done as he was asked and taken on a lead role in the Coven alongside his sister-in-law, Teryn, and her husband, Cian. But without Talis, the world just doesn't feel right. Little do they know, this isn't the end at all.

The threat of the same Dark God rises again, and with it, the Coven needs their leader back. Talis returns to the land of the living thanks to untapped and unexplored magic from the Fair People to find that not everything was as he'd left it. It's time to venture to the land of the Fair People, Albion, to make one more stand against the very force that cost him his life before. This time, he's not fighting alone. The Coven gathers to fight back the darkness and to keep their fearless leader with the other half of his soul.

Who designed your book covers?

Amusingly enough, my ex-boyfriend. We have a good relationship still and he does design. So he does my covers if I can’t do them myself.

If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?

Don’t start me down that road. That’s the nightmare of pre-release. So officially, I’m going to say no.

Did you learn anything during the writing of your recent book?

A lot of the interactions are similar to my own interactions with friends. Hard to believe we’re all parents.

If your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?

Talis: Jaden Smith-multiple reasons. First, he’s talented. Second, he can rock the longer and lighter colored hair that Talis has. Third, Will Smith could totally play his dad in the movie too because they look so much alike and so does Talis and his dad. Jaden seems like he’d be totally fine playing a gay role and like he’d be able to be what I see Talis as.

Dion: Milan Christopher-mostly because physically he’s very close to how I see Dion.

Teryn: Jurnee Smollett-again, physically very close to Teryn in appearance and likely would be able to capture both the empathetic and sassy nature of her

Cian: Daniel Radcliffe-he’s just perfect for Cian. Cian is pretty laid back and calm most of the time with just a little bit of impetuousness that I think Daniel could handle.

Anything specific you want to tell your readers?

If you read the first book, you’re in for a bumpy ride with Talis and Dion. They were really happy at the end of the last book, and I won’t say they’re unhappy now but they’re a couple years into marriage and flaws in their personalities start to show. They have a lot of room to grow.

How did you come up with name of this book?

I have a Facebook group for other authors and one of them named this book when I gave him the synopsis. I am awful with titles.

What is your favorite part of this book and why?

The last three chapters or so. I both love and hate it, because writing it was hard for me. But it had to be done. There’s a lot of emotion brought up that will continue on into the next book as well.

If you could spend time with a character from your book whom would it be? And what would you do

during that day?

After this book, Dion. He’s so sweet and protective and just wants to support his husband. I think that’s adorable. Then so often he’s the last to know things. Even though he’s family, he can feel like the outside. I’d take him out somewhere, walk through a park and talk with him. Get his mind off the magical stuff and just let him be his normal self for a day.

Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?

Based on real people. Little of myself for Talis, an old friend for Dion, my sister for Teryn. Cian was totally from my imagination.

Have you written any other books that are not published?

Yes, one called Lost Vengeance. It will be published. It’s part of the Dragon Hunters series. I just want to make some changes, add a lot of detail. Might be a while before I get that one out.

What did you edit out of this book?

Originally, Dion was supposed to have a kid. His ex, Kolby, would come back with a two or three-year-old daughter that had been conceived just before the events of the first book. However, that didn’t fit with what was necessary for this book.

Is there a writer whose brain you would love to pick for advice? Who would that be and why?

Anne Rice. She’s my favorite author and she gives out writing advice constantly, which I credit as part of the reason I write the way I do. But I’d love to pick her brain for critiques specific to my work.

Drako was born in 1987 in St. Louis, Missouri. He is mainly a fantasy writer, though he also writes some poetry and general fiction. He is very active on Bluesky these days as his primary social media. When he isn't writing, he's busy with hobbies in reading and playing video games. He has his own podcast and also works an editor/proof reader and a tarot reader.
