About this ebook

It was my freshman year when my best friend introduced me to the spring festival in Hawthorne University. I was studying for finals, but she said everyone, absolutely everyone, goes to Beltane. Because Hawthorne is weird.

Men in red paint jumped flames. Ladies in white dresses with lovely flower garlands awaited the May Queen. But none of that interested me—until I decorated a tree with a super cute guy. We danced around the tree and had so much fun.

But then I saw fire. And within the flames were disturbing images. Even with the spark between me and my new stranger, it had to end. I think that was the day my witchcraft began—you know, the fire that burns in my heart and soul.

Cadence Hawthorne returns in this novelette short story romance taking place before Broomstick, the first novel in The Hawthorne University Witch Series. This story first appeared exclusively as a free ebook for subscribers of the author's monthly newsletter and on A.L. Hawke's website.

Content Warning: Beltane Fire contains profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.

Beltane fire is part of the Hawthorne University series. This is a quick read about Katie and Maddie and their celebration. Ended to quick. This author is amazing.
