Maeve Lovejoy isn't allowed to fall in love; her vows as matchmaker to a centuries-old coven located in the middle of the Bible belt prohibit it. The sacrifice isn't too terrible a burden until she meets Mr. Wright. Nathalia serves as Abbess, ruling the witches to whom Maeve is vowed. An abusive past relationship and experiences with a black magic sect cultivated her great distrust of men. Faced with losing the most potent matchmaker in any coven's recorded history, Nathalia goes against her better instinct and allows her best friend, Maeve, to see Aaron Wright. But when someone begins murdering couples with a connection to the coven, the bodies pile up and Nathalia's suspicion points right to the new beau Maeve trusts implicitly. Which of them is right and which one is dead wrong? For the Love of Magic is the first Witchbound novel by Natalie Gibson, an introduction to the Daughters of Women, a secret order of magical adepts, each with abilities granted to them from their mother's bloodlines. Some will be, and some will give birth to a generation bound to an ancient race of men they call Guardians. They are half men, half gods with mysterious abilities of their own. Although previously released as Ishtar Bound, this new edition is now called For The Love Of Magic. It has been completely rewritten with new content and substantial developmental editing.
