Publisher's Synopsis
Hexbound Heart A Southern Gothic Witchcraft Novel by Jess Rae
When Calla Whitlock leaves the misty hollows of East Tennessee for a short trip to Salem, she expects antique shops and haunted tours-not the unraveling of everything she thought she knew about herself. In the shadows of cobblestone alleys and forgotten graveyards, Calla discovers a truth buried in blood: she descends from a powerful line of witches nearly erased by a secretive order of hunters. One name in particular-Aelia-calls to her from beyond memory, binding itself to Calla's soul through fire, visions, and a destiny too old to refuse. But Salem isn't just a place of history. Something ancient is waking beneath the surface. With magic awakening in her veins and danger tightening around her, Calla must decide what kind of witch she wants to be: the hunted... or the one who carries the fire forward. Perfect for fans of Southern Gothic fantasy, slow-burn romance, ancestral magic, and stories about reclaiming power and legacy.
