Stonefort is a quiet community ruled by legend and two strong clans. The Haskell Witches, mostly women, live in The House, an ancient structure that has a life of its own and hardly tolerates either men or electricity. The Morgans, on the other hand, are descendants of pirates, but the family has other secrets: Ben, the head of the clan, has legally been dead for years, but he's still around to keep the money supply going.

Oh yes, and they shapeshift into seals.

When an evil bruja threatens their community, Alice Haskell and Kate Rowley must band together to put a stop to it. The women are beautifully realized, the action is fast and the fantasy is well worth reading.

Dragon's Eye is the first book in James A. Hetley's Stonefort series.
