After the tragic death of her mother, four-year-old Dani and her protector, Kaitlin, are constantly on the run from The Council of Warlocks and the ruthless assassin, The Talisman. Dani, the heir to a forbidden power, grows up fighting to survive, suppressing her burgeoning witch powers and the truth of her past. As the years pass, the love she once held begins to be replaced by a consuming hate.
Meanwhile, Jean Laveau, known as the Midnight Man, lies comatose, his mind tortured by the evil whisperings of the witch Hagatha. His only refuge is the memory of his past, the moments he met and fell in love with Kaitlin, and the magical, yet dreadful night he first encountered a witch.
The Midnight Man, Book Two of The Wiccan Chronicles, is the tragic story of two damaged souls: Dani, charging carelessly toward her foretold destiny, and Jean, spinning blindly in his turbulent past. With time running out, their only hope is to save each other by shining a light into the darkness of the Midnight Man. This novel is a gripping blend of adventure, paralyzing fear, magic, and chilling action, featuring a world of Lycans, Witches, and Warlocks.
Book Review:
The Midnight Man by D. A. Barney deepens The Wiccan Chronicles Trilogy with a haunting, emotionally charged tale of destiny, trauma, and dark magic. Where Book 1 introduced the legacy, Book 2 thrusts readers into the aftermath—focusing on Dani, a child born into danger, and Jean Laveau, the elusive Midnight Man trapped in a nightmare of his own mind.
Barney crafts a gripping dual narrative: Dani, forced to hide her witch heritage, grows up fuelled by pain and survival, her innocence slowly eroding into rage. Jean, meanwhile, lies comatose—his memories, regrets, and the ghost of Kaitlin his only refuge as Hagatha’s whispers try to consume him. Their stories echo one another: two fractured souls haunted by fate, loss, and forces far beyond their control.
The world remains richly dangerous—assassins, warlocks, Lycans, and ancient magic all collide in an atmosphere thick with dread. As Dani rushes headlong toward her prophecy and Jean fights his internal demons, the question becomes whether either can escape the darkness that seeks to claim them.
Dark, suspenseful, and emotionally layered, The Midnight Man is a chilling continuation of the series—one that blends heartache with heart-pounding action and sets the stage for an explosive finale.
