A Dark Witch. An Art Thief. And An Invisible Killer.

With the goddess Kali’s death curse hanging over her head, dark witch Cyn is running scared.
To get help, Cyn must sell her services to DAFT, a top-shelf supernatural society.
The mission is tricky—find Leonardo da Vinci’s missing formula to protect the witches’ fading psychic powers from modern hi-tech. The last thing she needs is more trouble.
Trouble is what she gets.
Mysterious ongoings at the maestro’s final residence in France throw Cyn’s assignment off track, leaving her with a murdered man, Dan the magic-hating art thief—and a pet tortoise.
Now Cyn and her new criminal sidekick Dan must solve the puzzle and flush out an invisible foe, who might or might not be an undead Da Vinci.
Of course, the killer strikes again.
And misses.
Given their clashing characters, backgrounds, and a slow-burn romance sparking between them, Cyn and Dan are a team forged in hell. But, hey, a little creative chaos can work wonders...

‘Spelled in Ink’, the first book in this suspenseful series of paranormal cozy murder mystery and fantasy novels, will keep you laughing—and guessing—right to the very end.

PRAISE for "Spelled in Ink"

"Lina Hansen has conjured up something deliciously twisted in "Spelled in Ink"—a world where magic is getting ghosted by smartphones and someone's getting literally ghosted by murder. It's like watching your grandmother's crystal ball get defeated by Google Maps, except with more corpses and considerably better character development." (Netgalley Reviewer)
"Leonardo Da Vinci's last residence in France as the backdrop of the story gave an interestingly cultural twist to the story and I cannot wait to read the rest of it." (Kiki G., Netgalley Reviewer)
