Sour Iris Kain

As a gray witch, twenty-six-year-old Murphy Blackwell lived an isolated life, sheltering the world from her damage. Gray witches are chaos witches-the most hazardous type known to humankind. She was to blame for the mayhem that occurred whenever she ventured outside of Witch's Brew, her heavily warded home and business, and there was little she could do about it. Murphy had no life and no family. The only friends she had were two coven members who never left her side after the night the three of them lost their mothers. The killers were never found.




Betony is a strong-willed high-schooler determined to learn all there is about the craft. As her primary instructor, she has adopted Murphy, a solitary practitioner, but Murphy isn't sure about her aspiring student's designs. Betony says all the right things. So why is Murphy second-guessing her motivation?




To Murphy's shock, a gunman evades the wards and enters her shop, shattering her sense of safety. Then, her high priestess delivers a new blow, one that endangers everything-what she is, who her friends are, and the survival of the entire town of Gryphon.
