Horngate Witches Books
Ages ago, the Guardians of the earth created an army of creatures—faeries, banshee, chimeras, oni, lamia, kelpies, angels…the Uncanny and Divine things that populate myth and legends that most humans suppose never really existed. It was an army meant to contain the human population, to keep them from overrunning the earth…hungry parasites taking more than the host can provide.
The army failed. The Guardians were too benevolent and did not prune back the weed of humanity as severely as needed. As a result, cold iron took a heavy toll on the creatures of the Uncanny and Divine.
Centuries later, the Guardians have decided to act before it is too late—before the magic dies entirely. This time, they are holding nothing back. Over centuries, the creatures of the Uncanny and Divine have grown less susceptible to iron, and they will no longer let mercy or pity get in the way of saving the earth and its magic.
A war is beginning, one that will remake the earth and decimate much of humanity. It will move mountains and drain oceans. Magical beings will once again walk the earth, more powerful than ever before. A new army is rising, and the portents are here. Fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes…a collapsing bridge, a sinkhole swallowing a city block, a tidal wave to kill an island.
Witches will be at the heart of the war. They have kept the fires of magic burning for centuries. The Guardians call on them to lead the fight. But uniting the witches is no easy task. Many are enemies, while others see the rising tide of magic as a chance to build empires.
Questions arise. Will anyone protect humanity? Who will survive when the wars end? The line in the sand between good and evil is smudged and crooked and right and wrong is impossible to know. But no one will be left on the sidelines; everyone will have to choose sides. And soon.

When will you write the next book of the HornGate Witches?

Honestly, things have seriously got away from me over the last couple of years with all the family stuff especially. I hope to work on one very soon.

I just got done reading Bitter nights. Book one. Didn’t know there were 3 more. It got me hooked from the very beginning. I would love to read the other 3. How much are they and where can I buy them at? Is there going to be more ?

Hi Rene! Thank you so much!
Amazon carries the books, and some bookstores. You may have to order them from the bookstores. Here’s the thing. If you can get them in the small paperback size, they should be something like $7.99. If not, the publisher switched to a big paperback size and is charging a whole lot for it. (I don’t have ANY control over pricing). Ebook is cheaper still, and there’s always the library. Here’s the link to my Horngate page. You can read first chapters there: https://www.dianapfrancis.com/horngate-witches-books/
I’m hoping to write more books in the future, but in the meantime, I’m working on a short story that picks up after book four. That should come out sometime in early 2017. It will be in an anthology. I’ll put it in my newsletter, so if you want to sign up, you can be sure to get notification.
