From Cauldron to Quill:
Stories Forged in Magic, Memory, and Reckoning
Tegan Lleuad writes at the crossroads of myth and modernity—where old magic survives in new forms, and stories remember things the world tries to forget.
A practicing witch for nearly four decades and a guide for seekers for over ten years, Tegan brings lived magic, folklore, and hard-won wisdom to the page. These are not aesthetic spells or borrowed myths. They are stories shaped by practice, place, and power—where sovereignty matters, memory has a cost, and the past is never finished with us.
Welcome to tales written with a steady hand, a sharp edge, and a deep respect for the uncanny.
🌙 Spellbinding fiction, forged in the cauldron of Awen 🌙
Coming April 2026
In the mountains where oaths outlive their makers, love is both spell and undoing.
Magic still hums in the Blue Ridge Mountains, tucked behind the church bells and gossip of Briar Gap. Mara Hollis runs the local occult shop with her lifelong coven and her feline familiar, Poe, whose silences speak volumes. But when a protection spell meant to banish her obsessive ex goes wrong, it calls something ancient across the Veil—and a cursed fae guardian answers.
Eiranthiel—ancient, bound, and beautiful—owes her protection until she’s “safe.” Trouble is, nothing in Briar Gap is safe anymore. Her ex refuses to let go, and an authoritarian president’s crusade against witches threatens her livelihood and her life. The magic she called to defend herself begins to unravel the thin places around her home, drawing forgotten powers back into the world.
As zealotry spreads through the hills and old magic stirs in answer, Mara—bolstered by her coven, her cat, and the reluctant guardian she never meant to summon—must decide whether to hide, fight, or reclaim the mountain’s memory before it devours its own.
A story of witches and weather, sovereignty and devotion, The Withered Crown explores the cost of safety, the defiance of remembrance, and the dangerous grace of being truly seen.

In My Veins
He is her mortal fascination. She is his eternal complication.
Kiara Savage has spent centuries perfecting the art of distance. As a vampire, solitude is survival—and humans are nothing more than sustenance. But when an old acquaintance meddles with magic, Kiara becomes the unwitting victim of a love spell… one that leaves her irresistibly drawn to Oliver Bergara, a brilliant, quietly wounded human whose very presence stirs something deeper than bloodlust.
Oliver has locked his heart away, burned once by love and determined never to be fooled again. His world is code, coffee, and a few trusted friends—until Kiara disrupts everything. She’s cold as moonlight, strange as myth, and impossible to ignore.
As their connection intensifies, Kiara is forced to confront a part of herself she buried long ago—a part that yearns, aches, loves. But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because in her world, love is a liability… and Oliver may be her greatest weakness.
Ancient rivalries stir, secrets bleed into the light, and a single wrong move could cost them both everything.
In My Veins is an intoxicating tale of forbidden passion, buried wounds, and a craving that defies blood and reason.
