The Westerly Light of Hazard Island

By: Catherine Avizinis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Some have Magick, some don’t. Some use their powers for good, some don’t.
When harm is done, the Lock Keepers Guild can give offenders a second chance,
but when they must, they Magickally lock up the villain and throw the key into the abyss.
Which will it be this time?


To the shock of Hazzard Island, the old Master Lock Keeper, Noddy, is found dead on the rocks below Dark End. The Lock Keepers Guild, guardians of the Magickal residents of the New England province, knows he has been murdered.

Vulnerable now without their fourth member, the Lock Keepers send word to his great-nephew, Nicholas Nottingham, an affluent Boston lawyer who is absolutely in the dark when it comes to the light of his own Magick. They hope he is the next Westerly Light, but they cannot tell him anything about his Magickal calling as they wait to see if his powers activate.

From fair-weather bubbles to love potions to fighting the Brass Bell Pirates and solving the murder; there's a lot to do. Nick is torn. His wife, Jude, wants their Boston life back; teen daughter, Talie, wants to dance; Autistic son, Nickle, now thriving, wants them all to see and believe like he does. Living on the island in a castle to fight pirates sounds like a fantasy dream to Nick but could it be his new reality?
He's been having nightmares.

• "Family is everything, Nottingham," Jack had said. "Love survives, always, all things, even death." It made more sense than ever now.
• On Hazard Island, off the New England coast, there are well-scrubbed seaport towns, full of Victorian gingerbread cottages, old brick mills, and Magick. Once you've been there, you won't want to leave.
