Welcome to Portico
Nestled at the edge Oregon, Portico is a town where the supernatural and the mundane share the same narrow streets. Some call it cursed. Others call it holy. Most of its residents don’t speak about what they’ve seen—at least not to outsiders. But when the boundaries between life and death begin to fray, believe and skepticism collide in ways no one can ignore.
About the Series
Told through intersecting lives and mysteries, each story in the world of The Witch’s Throne reveals a new facet of the same haunted landscape:
a curator obsessed with the artifacts of the dead,
a police officer who no longer trusts what he sees,
two women bound by a secret from 1964,
and a young woman who may—or may not—be the key to it all.
Whether read alone or together, these stories form a mosaic of fear, belief, skepticism, and the fragile ways we seek meaning in a world that refuses to explain itself.

Recent widow Thea Drake wants to forget about the paranormal—ghosts, demons, psychics, all of it. After her husband George, a professional skeptic, dies in a tragic accident while researching his final case—the curse of The Witch’s Throne—Thea wants only to provide their two daughters with a new version of normal for the future.
But when George’s greatest rival, renowned psychic Beverly Donneville, claims that George was in fact the curse’s seventh victim, Thea grows suspicious of the supernatural circumstances surrounding her husband’s death. She travels back to the site of the Witch’s Throne in the old-growth forests of a small town in Oregon to find the truth…and uncovers a mystery larger—and more dangerous—than she expected.
