Blood, Wine, Magic

In the heart of Napa Valley, where the world comes to savor rolling vineyards and award-winning wine, Miles Ward plies a far stranger trade. He isn’t a sommelier or a winemaker—he’s the Valley’s only consulting apotropaist, a practitioner of protective magic bound in blood.

To most, Napa is all charm and indulgence. But beneath the tasting rooms and Michelin stars runs a shadow world where monsters walk in human skin, curses ferment in old cellars, and ancient bargains stain the soil as deeply as spilled wine. When people call for help against what hides in plain sight, Miles answers—armed with wit, grit, and a craft as perilous as the evils he hunts.

Blood, Wine, Magic uncorks a supernatural mystery series that blends the elegance of California wine country with the grit of dark fantasy. Equal parts atmospheric, suspenseful, and thrilling, it invites readers to a place where every glass hides secrets, and survival depends on the magic in your veins.
