The Sacred and Profane

E SACRED AND THE PROFANE
Book One By Coco

Some gifts heal. Others come with a price.

They stole what they could. They controlled what they couldn't. But they never expected her to uncover the truth.

In Detroit, Cypress is determined to give her seven-year-old daughter, Zaharahne, something she was never allowed to have: a childhood free from other people's demands.

But Zaharahne is no ordinary child.

Born with extraordinary healing abilities and a mysterious protection that even the most powerful supernatural forces cannot penetrate, Zaharahne possesses something others would do anything to control.

And some of those people are family.

When disturbing secrets surrounding her mother's death begin to surface, Cypress discovers that the women she grew up trusting have been concealing far more than family disagreements. Supernatural gifts have been stolen. Sacred promises have been broken. Dangerous debts remain unpaid.

And behind years of manipulation lies a carefully constructed web of lies involving hidden covens, forbidden agreements, and people who have mistaken another person's power for their own property.

But Cypress is no longer willing to play the role they assigned her.

With an unexpected love offering genuine protection, unlikely alliances forming, and enemies growing increasingly desperate, she must confront a past that refuses to stay buried-while protecting a daughter whose true power remains a mystery even to those who fear her.

Some families pass down heirlooms. Others pass down curses, secrets, and debts that were never theirs to collect.

Rich with supernatural suspense, psychological twists, sharp humor, complicated family relationships, and unforgettable characters, The Sacred and the Profane is a story of stolen power, betrayal, love, and the extraordinary cost of reclaiming what was always yours.

The truth doesn't need permission to reveal itself.
