Familiar takes place in modern-day New York City, in a world in which magic has been recognized and acknowledged as a real and legitimate practice. However, with the introduction of technology, fewer people practice magic than ever, and many of the old arts – such as familiar summoning – have been lost… until an editor at a spellbook company accidentally summons the first familiar seen in decades.
Once a green candle witch, now an executive editor at Coven, a spellbook publishing company in Manhattan. Diana is passionate, hard-working, and a perfectionist, which has brought her great success in her career, but not so much in her personal life.
A mysterious man with magickal talents, Jack loves cooking and hates technology. He’s great at keeping house, and even better at enforcing house rules. He may or may not be a yoga instructor.
An affluent witch and entrepreneur whose life was changed by the publication of the spellbook Familiar. She owns The Spot, a locally renowned Lady Macbeth-themed spellbar in Astoria. She is also a pro-domme known as Mistress Wild Rose.
A linguist, apothecary, and master of poisons, Freddi is Rosemary’s assistant both in her craft and in her business ventures. He is one of the oldest named familiars recorded in spellbooks, with service dating through the King James witch hunts and earlier.
Diana’s friend and colleague. A graphic designer and Art Director at Coven.
The co-founder and publisher at Coven. Diana’s boss.
A prominent occult academic specializing in ancient and legacy spells. The author of FAMILIAR.
