Witches Under Way
by Debora Geary
2012
Lizard and Elsie are deep into their WitchLight journeys, and the hardest work is no longer the assignments but what they stir up inside. With meddling knitters, water-pistol-wielding allies and a daring challenge they set for each other, both women must risk real change.
Witches in Flight
by Debora Geary
2012
As the WitchLight program draws to a close, ghosts from Lizard’s past and the possibility of new love arrive at the same time. Elsie faces the hollow spaces inside her and the lure of raspberry-laced courage. Together, they have to decide who they are beyond their training.
Witches on Parole
by Debora Geary
2011
Retired celebrity photographer Jennie Adams agrees to mentor two very different witches for the WitchLight program. One is a tightly wound psychologist, the other a former juvenile delinquent with a gift for words. Their unlikely trio stumbles toward healing, mischief and hard truths.
Series background & context
The WitchLight Trilogy is a companion series to Modern Witch, set in the same universe but focused on a specific project: WitchLight, a mentoring program for witches who have lost their way. The books are quieter and more introspective than some of the mainline novels, leaning into emotional work and second chances.
At the heart of the trilogy is Jenvieve “Jennie” Adams, a world-famous photographer who has retired from globe-trotting and is looking for a different kind of purpose. She agrees to guide WitchLight’s latest cohort and is promptly sent two students who do not fit any easy mold. One is Elsie, an obsessive, tightly controlled psychologist with layers she keeps firmly hidden. The other is Lizard, a grown-up juvenile delinquent with a talent for language, a formidable biscuit recipe and a long practice of not trusting anyone.
In Witches on Parole, Jennie meets her students, learns just how much baggage each woman is carrying and begins the slow process of helping them unpack it. WitchLight’s methods are part coaching, part magical experiment and part sheer stubborn love. There are assignments that look suspiciously like dares, well-meaning meddlers from Witch Central and the realization that Jennie herself has growing to do.
Witches Under Way finds Lizard and Elsie deeper into their journeys. The inner obstacles are harder to ignore, and the stakes feel more personal. There are knitters whose projects have opinions, a fearsome duo with water pistols, and a pivotal challenge the two students choose for each other, forcing them to confront fears they would rather leave buried.
In Witches in Flight, the trilogy comes in for a landing. Ghosts from Lizard’s past resurface just as a man with the potential to be her future steps into the picture. Elsie faces the empty places in her soul and the temptations of leaning too hard on magical shortcuts. Together with Jennie, they have to decide what it means to finish a WitchLight journey and how to carry those changes into the rest of their lives.
While the WitchLight books can technically be read on their own, they resonate more deeply if you already know Witch Central and its inhabitants from the Modern Witch novels. Read in between or after those books, the trilogy offers a more focused look at how Geary’s witches approach healing, accountability and the delicate art of believing in yourself without pretending to be perfect.
