The Witches of Welland and their Goddess have been using magic with impunity for four years now. Reality has been changed, lives have been affected. Their actions have not gone unnoticed, and their hubris will not go unpunished.
For centuries the Brotherhood of Diomedes has worked to keep Earth free from the meddling of petty deities, and the small upstart coven in Canada has finally come to their attention.
Now Sam and Nikki must keep their chosen family and friends safe from a ruthless, experienced enemy that threatens their very existence."
(This story is set in our Witches of Welland story universe, and it begins a few days after the last short story (A Taste of Regret) in our Tales from the Witches of Welland collection.)

In preparation for Brotherhood of Diomedes I binged all of the Welland stories that I had both already read and others that I missed. It feels like all of the stories that Purplecatgirl has put out have been leading to this inevitable point. All the moral questions that this series has raised. Every time they've tweaked reality. Every life that's changed. The other Welland stories have slowly fleshed out this world with a massive cast of characters. We've grown to know and love them. And now everything seems like it might be destroyed. Every chapter slowly builds the anxiety and I know there will be an explosive conclusion. Thank you so much for this story and all of your hard work!
I was so busy writing the review I forgot to give it five stars and now scribble won't let me edit it. But five stars for real

Where the prequels had been mostly sweet and wholesome with quick problemsolving and having fun with magic, this story is like the snapping-back rubberband that our beloved coven had been stretching until here. It's grim. It's dark. There is violence, death, anxiety, desparation, mourning,... the whole deal. But there is also a lot of love that overcomes all of this.
I fully recommend reading it. But if you do, strap in tightly. Because this story is one hell of a ride on the rollercoaster of emotions.
