Synopsis

Something in the dark knows her name...

Marisol Espinal has spent her life trying to shrink herself. Hide her magic. Hide her grief. Hide the parts of her that never seemed to fit the perfect boxes everyone else lived in. But when her mother's death pulls her back to Willowshade, Ohio, she can no longer outrun the one thing she fears most: the family secrets buried on Hallowthorn Hill.

The hill has always been there-watching, waiting. Once dismissed as superstition, it now calls to her in ways she can't explain, stirring visions of ancestors she's never met and whispers of a magic she was taught to deny. As Marisol grapples with the weight of inheritance and identity, she uncovers the chilling truth: a darkness tied to her bloodline is waking-and it's been waiting for her.

Visions blur into reality. Shadows stretch longer. And somewhere deep beneath the roots of Hallowthorn Hill, something stirs-something that feeds on fear, shame, and self-doubt. To survive, Marisol must reclaim the pieces of herself she buried long ago-the curls, the curves, the culture, the magic-and confront the legacy that threatens to consume her.

Haunting, lyrical, and infused with Dominican folklore, The Ordinary Bruja is a coming-of-age novel woven with magical realism and psychological suspense. In a town that sees her as ordinary, Marisol must discover the extraordinary strength hidden in the parts of herself she once tried to erase.

Because the hill is patient.

The hill is watching.

And the hill is waiting for her to remember who she was meant to be.
