The Witches Last Heir

No one saves the witch but herself.

On the edge of the Irish bog, where the mist never lifts and the wind carries old secrets, Brigid O’Shea lives beneath the shadow of a curse that has haunted her bloodline for centuries. She is the last of the O’Shea witches—a healer, a mother, and the keeper of an ancient ledger that records every bargain and betrayal ever made by her family.

When a string of deaths strikes the village of Clogher, marked by cryptic runes and a growing sense of dread, Brigid and her infant son become the focus of suspicion. The local priest, Father Rowan, uses fear and faith as weapons, manipulating the villagers into believing that only the exile—or sacrifice—of the witch’s heir can break the cycle of loss. But the true danger is far older and more cunning than superstition: a fae pact, forged in blood and desperation, is coming due. The land itself is sick, and the ghosts of the O’Shea women gather in the mist, urging Brigid toward a destiny she cannot refuse.

Desperate to protect her child and the home her ancestors fought to defend, Brigid forges an uneasy alliance with Ciarán—a mysterious outsider bound to the land by magic, oath, and heartbreak. Together, they must unravel the secrets of the ledger, confront the ghosts of their pasts, and face the ancient powers awakening beneath the rowan tree. As the blood moon rises and the lines between worlds blur, Brigid will be forced to make an unthinkable choice: save her son, or save her village. Some debts can only be paid in sorrow, and the price of breaking the curse may be more than she can bear.

The Witch’s Last Heir is the spellbinding first novel in the Ledger Witch Saga, weaving together Irish folklore, gothic romance, and haunting family drama. For readers of Hannah Whitten, Naomi Novik, and Netflix’s The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, this saga blends lush worldbuilding, lyrical prose, and high-stakes emotion into a sweeping tale of magic, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of women who refuse to be erased.
