Sapphire Circe, Earth’s Seductress Supreme
Due to my strong scientific beliefs, the author wishes to note that this is a work of fiction, and in no way endorses a belief in the occult... unless it’s real.
In the early 21st century of the World of Athena Minerva, a woman takes seriously her final exam in a class on "Religious Rituals and Their Importance in Anthropology". Like most in her class, she thinks the spirit world is only a psychological metaphor, something of legends and the subconscious mind. But when she takes the challenge to cleanse the local haunted house with a blessing at midnight, she finds that to her, ghosts are no joke.
In fact they are deadly serious.
But can witchcraft protect a scientist who only believes in what she can see and measure?
Sapphire Circe was a young witch with only the most basic consecrated items, and only the most basic understanding of the history of witchcraft from anthropology classes. She still thought spell casting was an entirely psychological phenomenon, a boost to one’s self-esteem with no effect upon the "real" world. That was before she knew how much of the supposedly “real” world was just imagination and social convention.
Over the course of the series, she learns two terrifying truths: that humans have no magical power whatsoever, and that humans are as powerful as they dare to become.
