Practical Magic meets Gone Girl in Ava Morgyn's next dark, spellbinding novel about a woman who is more than a witch—she's a hunter.

Piers Corbin has always had an affinity for poisonous things—plants and men. From the pokeweed berries she consumed at age five that led to the accidental death of a stranger, to the husband whose dark proclivities have become... concerning, poison has been at the heart of her story.
But when she fakes her own death in an attempt to escape her volatile marriage and goes to stay with her estranged great aunt in the mountains, she realizes her predilection is more than a hunger—it's a birthright. Piers comes from a long line of poison eaters—Bane Witches—women who ingest deadly plants and use their magic to rid the world of evil men.
Piers sets out to earn her place in her family's gritty but distinguished legacy, all while working at her Aunt Myrtle's cafe and perpetuating a flirtation with the local, well-meaning sheriff to allay his suspicions on the body count she's been leaving in her wake. But soon she catches the attention of someone else, a serial killer operating in the area. And that only means one thing—it's time to feed.
In Ava Morgyn's dark, thrilling novel, The Bane Witch, a very little poison can do a world of good.

      In this witchy thriller, Piers is a woman desperately in need of a new life. After faking her own death and framing her abusive husband for the crime, Piers goes in search of the one person left who could possibly help her start over, an estranged aunt who lives deep in the mountains. But when Piers learns of the real history of her family, it's her choice to make to either keep running or embrace her deadly legacy and use her newly found powers to take out the serial killer currently plaguing her aunt's mountain town. As compelling as the story is, it can get bogged down by Morgyn's explanations, but Piers herself is an interesting character with a dark backstory many readers may relate to, especially as she works toward her new life after surviving abuse. Not a thriller in the traditional sense, but definitely thrilling in its own unique way, this excursion into poisons and secret families, as well as the gray area of good versus evil, will appeal to fans of witchy fiction and dark themes.
