SOON!
Heart-stopping stakes, unforgettable family bonds, and a whirlwind of magic await in The Pentacle, the gripping sixth and final installment of The Madigan Chronicles.
​
As Bridget struggles to maintain her identity against the fiery pull of the Wand, Maeve’s Siren nature emerges stronger than ever. Snowflake wrestles with her emotional connection to the Cup, and the Guardian of the Pentacle of Growth is forced to reveal herself.
Lucy and Tara realize their relationship isn’t what they remember, forcing them to navigate unfamiliar ground. As they fight to reclaim their bond, they’ll stop at nothing to find the Pentacle—no matter the consequences.
Meanwhile, the Fates are watching, weaving threads that could either save the Madigans or doom them. And deep in the astral plane, an unexpected plea for forgiveness stirs emotions and tests loyalties.
When the elemental powers merge in an event that shakes the very fabric of existence, the Madigans are thrust into the ultimate battle of magic, family, and fate. They will discover that the true cost of power is not just what they’re willing to sacrifice, but who.
Guided by whispers of wisdom from their ancestors—and hindered by the scars of their choices—the family must reunite to restore the balance, or risk losing everything they’ve fought to protect.

Lush, layered, and unapologetically emotional…
Myth, elemental magic, and tangled family ties collide in Lexmond’s emotionally charged finale of The Madigan Chronicles. The twin witches Tara and Lucy are on the run with the stolen Cup of Plenty, tearing open old wounds and magical fault lines as they go. While Tara grapples with betraying her family, Bridget, now the reluctant head of the Madigan, must decide whether to hunt them down or hold the fragile threads of her family together.
This sixth and final volume deepens the series’ core themes of betrayal, identity, and redemption, while pushing characters (and readers) toward an inevitable reckoning. Tara and Lucy are at the center. Their psychic bond is as volatile as it is deep, driving some of the book’s most harrowing scenes. Tara’s choice to side with Lucy fuels much of the tension, especially as the two flee across continents, forging dangerous magical alliances and outpacing their guilt.
What sets Lexmond’s storytelling apart is her refusal to cast anyone as purely good or evil. Even the most destructive characters are granted humanity. Lucy is dangerous, but not without vulnerability. Tara is torn, and even demons here are seductive, not monstrous. The New Orleans setting, especially the Under the Witches Hat bar, is full of life, layered magic, and emotional chaos. Throughout, Lexmond explores how power, regret, and love evolve with age, and how sisterhood can be both a bond and a battleground. This isn’t a breezy fantasy. It’s rich, slow-burning, and emotionally intense. For readers invested in morally tangled family epics, this is one of the strongest entries yet. A story as raw as it is spellbinding.
