Character

Aunt Catherine Moone

“Old stories are only harmless when people are smart enough to listen.”

John's aunt, a mountain mystic with old knowledge and a low tolerance for foolishness.

Aunt Catherine is one of the few people in Lenor County who knows the old stories are not just stories. She is warm when she wants to be, frightening when she needs to be, and far more powerful than most people realize. When the boys need help with magic they barely understand, Catherine is often the person they hope will answer the phone.

Catherine connects the boys to older magic, Moone family history, and the supernatural roots beneath Lenor County.
