Whispers in the Night Kathy Dexter

How can Riley Sloane prevent evil from crushing her and the people she loves? When her mother is murdered, Riley Sloane must find a way to use her magical skills, as well as her own inner strength and courage, to destroy the wicked ones stalking her and threatening to steal the special powers of those who have sought sanctuary in Mystic Lake. Whispers in the night forewarn of danger and death lurking in the shadows. Riley ran away from Mystic Lake four years ago when she lost love and hope. Now she returns to bury her mother and unmask the killers before they can strike again. She finds strength in the white dragon amulet, the talisman that enhances her magical abilities, and the people who mean the most to her: Wilder Delaney, the man she loved and lost, now determined to win her back no matter the cost; Aidan, her three-year-old son who teaches her much about the ways of magic and courage; Lou McDonald, the private detective who hired her when she was at her lowest; her grandmother Zarya, a member of the Gyld, dedicated to preserving the heritage of their ancestors. Tension builds as the enemy creeps closer, seeking the book of magical spells that could bring unimaginable powers and destruction to those fighting to preserve their world. At the same time, Riley has to battle the inner demons waiting to consume her soul.
