Magic defies control. Covens retaliate. Jo Locket's extraordinary magical gifts make her a threat to the Coven's rigid order. When forced to swear a blood-oath of obedience, she responds with defiance—earning instant excommunication and exile. With nothing but her raw savant powers of illusion and healing, Jo flees to Seattle seeking her renegade aunt who once escaped the same fate. Her ambitious plan: transform her "Mt. Shasta Experience" train shows into a profitable enterprise to fund something revolutionary—a witch academy free from blood-oaths and dogma. A sanctuary where magic can flourish without constraints. But the Elders aren't finished with Jo. Their ancient magic and ruthless tactics close in, determined to reclaim her power or destroy her completely. Can Jo's talents outmaneuver centuries of Coven influence to create a new future for outcast witches? Or will her rebellion be crushed before her academy can rise from the misty slopes of Mt. Shasta? Find out in Breaking Coven, Building Dreams —the riveting first installment of a witch’s fight for freedom, family, and a future where magic belongs to everyone.
Magic isn't just her power—it's her business plan. Jo never expected renovating a rundown camp to be easy. As a talented Witch Savant, she's determined to transform the dilapidated property into a revolutionary magic academy. Her unconventional funding source? A spectacular "illusions" train experience that delights unsuspecting humans while secretly utilizing her genuine magical abilities. Between managing skeptical contractors, reinforcing magical wards, and dealing with a foul-mouthed raccoon that won't stop cursing in English, Jo's plate is overflowing. The local townspeople are growing suspicious, railroad executives demand ever-more impressive performances, and whispers from her former coven threaten to unravel everything she's building. Jo must master the delicate balance between revealing enough "magic" to fund her dream while keeping the true nature of her powers hidden. Will Jo successfully establish the first independent witch academy in generations? Or will the powerful coven she escaped finally "take the gloves off" and crush her rebellious dream before it truly begins?
