In the third installment of the Madigan Chronicles, the struggle to keep the elemental powers safe continues, and the family dramas deepen. Get ready to venture into this captivating world of fantasy and magic!

As The Wand begins, Ceri has a hard time finding the balance as the Keeper of the Land in Fairy while being human, alienating her daughter, who finds a dangerous friend in Mab, the Queen of Fairy.

In the meantime, Maeve must face up to her teenage trauma and wrestles with accepting her true self. Bridget does her best to help her twin and make up for some of the pain she had caused by leaving her behind all those years ago. At the same time, she is forced to take on a responsibility she never wanted, upsetting the entire family in the process.

Homeless, Lucy has no other option than to ask her estranged son, Set, to take her in, not realising she's playing right into the hand of Set's demon father. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lucy's grandson, Cal, is confronted with his disposable position in his family. Disappointed and encouraged by Seamus, whose magical tarot card he still has in his possession, he embarks on a trip of magical self-discovery.

About the Author

Marieke Lexmond reads tarot cards, loves food, photography, and travel. She has three sassy little dogs that she likes to take everywhere, and they even have their own Instagram account @urbandogsquad. Her background in filmmaking enabled her to travel and live around the globe. Storytelling is in her blood, from saving her allowance from a very young age to buy books, to her master's degree from the Dutch Film Academy. Fantasy and science fiction are her favorite genres. She prefers to write fun and mystical stories. Her attraction to nature and places with a magical history brought her to New Orleans and the West Coast of Ireland. As a pagan, she felt an instant connection to the land; it feeds her imagination and has become the inspiration for the Madigan Chronicles. "The Cup" (Madigan Chronicles #4) will be released in 2022. You can follow the witches on IG and FB @underthewitcheshat and Marieke on her IG account @Mariekelex
