The Portal series is one of Maggie Shayne’s darker paranormal offerings, centered on a mystical gateway and the witches sworn to protect it. Legacy of the Witch, published in 2005, introduces the mythology and the generational conflict at the heart of the story. The later books, Mark of the Witch, Daughter of the Spellcaster, and Blood of The Sorceress, were published between 2012 and 2013 through Harlequin’s MIRA imprint.
Each book focuses on a different witch whose powers are linked to the portal, and the series builds toward a final confrontation between good and ancient evil. Shayne blends romance into the fantasy elements, giving each heroine a love interest whose fate is tied to the portal’s magic.
