Quote: "The gorund is alive, it's full of magic, and we need it more than it needs us."

Georjayna is an Earth Wise, a mortal with some magical powers, in a series of stories that interlink Water, Fire, Air, and Earth magic. She's appeared in another character's story; this is the first of a series where she's the protagonist. 

When Georjie goes to the fictional town of Blackmouth in Scotland, she's impressed by a magical rosebush near a ruined building local people are demolishing. They find a mummified body in the walls. Georjie's magic tells her that the body belonged to a woman who was buried alive in the stone wall of the building as a witch. Georjie assumes the woman was an innocent victim of haters.

Then her friend Evelyn goes into a coma. Georjie realizes that the mummy was buried in the wall because, as a living witch, she had foretold that she'd recover her powers whenever her bones touched the Earth again. And the witch has used her powers to drain the life energy from Evelyn. In order to heal Evelyn Georjie has to fight a magic duel and defeat the witch. 

For those who want a spooky story for Halloween, this professionally crafted novel is a fresh new one,
