The Witches of Culpepper

The greatest power comes at the highest price, the suffering of mankind.
In a world secretly governed by kinetic energy, where human emotions possess raw, exploitable force, two ambitious sisters defy ancient law. Kim, the Architect, and Lori, the Enforcer, are the new apex of magical power, capable of cheating death by harvesting the kinetic discharge of human conflict.
Their ambition leads them to the deadliest field of power in the 19th century: the American Civil War.
But true immortality requires a horrifying anchor, the slow, continuous draining of a single, innocent life.
The Witches of Culpepper plunges readers into a dark, esoteric struggle for eternal life. Hunted across a war-torn continent by their former mentor, Mary Worth, the sisters must race to secure a legendary Source of elemental power in the ancient swamps of Florida. If they succeed, they gain ultimate, unburdened immortality. If they fail, their chaotic, amassed power will tear them apart, vaporizing them in a single Blue Flash.
Discover a historical fantasy where the only victory that matters is the one won over mortality itself.
