The Ladies Club: The Book of Raven

Raven Dougherty is a witch, a 40-ish housewife, mother to 13-year-old twin girls, and loyal wife and partner to her rising-star politician husband. And as if she had nothing else to do, second-in-command of The Ladies, a worldwide secret society of benevolent witches that has existed for over six centuries.

As everyday errands and duties collapse into far more serious problems, things begin to spin out of control for Raven and her family. The twins mature rapidly, becoming witches like their mother. Her husband’s political career pulls him away just when she needs him the most. A fundamentalist group believes she is up to something evil and dark.

She finds out the reason her secret order of witches – as well as a counterpart organization of male witches - has existed for so long – to stand and defend against an ancient sinister occult force that threatens humanity itself, arising from a parallel plane of existence.

Now faced with new threats that your average suburban housewife is just not equipped to handle, Raven steps up to new challenges: Playing the politician’s pretty wife and raising teenagers, while maintaining order from ten thousand free-thinking witches. And preparing to defend against a threat that no one has ever dealt with before, much less even understand.

Raven Dougherty must keep her quick Irish temper in check and maintain a cool head for the frustrating things she is about to face, even when her life and the lives of her family and friends are at stake.

As Grand Raven of The Ladies, along with her best friend and High Exalted Priestess, Karmoon, she must use her powers and common sense to stand against The Things to Come, a disturbing prophecy from so long ago.
