Mississippi Wizards

A novel by Kenny Penn

Cassandra never forgot the night her cousin died—or the ghost who appeared afterward. Thirteen years later, a weekend in the De Soto National Forest drags her into a world where past and present collide, and the line between sanity and the supernatural blurs.

Two timelines, two women, one relentless spirit: Liza’s secret love and Cassandra’s haunted mind converge through Nancy, a ghost determined to rewrite a history of hatred and violence. As terror rises and mortal enemies close in, the women must join across time to survive, confront murderers, and reclaim the power stolen from them.

Mississippi Wizards is a gripping, spectral thriller of vengeance, courage, and the enduring strength of love against impossible odds.
