Seedling (A Novel)

Sabella Lector’s life is strict yet secure. Her parents may search her and her brother’s rooms and keep her from the dating life, but she goes to a great school, has best friends, and is on the search for a college for her bright future. Everything is in place, despite the occasional tension at home and between past ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends. If she can tough it all out, everything will go as planned.

Until a mysterious black cat and the Weird Sisters come along.

Callista, Beatrix, Pandora, and Drazelle are four unusual girls who tell Sabella that the life she is living is not meant for her. She is adopted, comes from another realm, and is not even human.

Sabella is a witch.

Her lineage demands that she return to the world she was meant for, a realm and a city known as the Dynasty. She is not an ordinary witch but their Center, a witch capable of the strongest magical powers possible. The black cat that follows Sabella and appears out of nowhere, Dante, is her familiar, an unmistakeable notion that her destiny is sealed. Led by their teacher and guide, Malva, the Weird Sisters have come to convince Sabella to leave with them and forget about her human upbringing and all of the people she knows and loves. She must make a choice, but the Weird Sisters make it very clear: she must choose them or consequences will be dire.

The stakes only grow more treacherous when it is apparent that someone else is out there but with the agenda to kill Sabella. The Weird Sisters don’t know who it could be, but it is someone from their home world, someone who knows everything about Sabella. Now, not only Sabella but her family and friends could be in danger!

A choice must be made. Sabella must choose to leave behind her world, her family, everyone she cares deeply about before she endangers it.
