A witch in crisis. A shy man with an unusual occupation. To regain healing powers, the witch must fight for something bigger than himself. With magic.

Tobias only wanted to use his healing powers for good. But with clients dying, he begins to doubt himself. When he meets a reckless man named Aiden, sparks fly, but can a witch and a Catholic find a future together? The houseless community Aiden works with is in danger from unscrupulous forces, and he asks Tobias for help. Tobias tries to refuse, but then a Goddess intervenes…

With the help of his coven, Tobias must walk into the fire, while not losing the man he is rapidly coming to love. To protect his city, Tobias must reclaim his powers before the whole thing topples like a house of cards…

"I loved that the main characters in the second book were both gay men from different religious traditions. I won't say more, because I don't want to spoil it, but it was delicious. Magic, and romance, and activism, oh my!" -- Melissa Hill for Patheos

From the Inside Flap

This is a standalone book in a linked, nine book series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

T. Thorn Coyle has been arrested at least five times. Buy them a cup of tea or a good whisky to get the full story.

A salty-tongued, tattooed mystic, Thorn is author of the popular paranormal series The Witches of Portland, the alt-history/urban fantasy series The Panther Chronicles, the epic Steel Clan Saga, and several story collections. They have also written multiple non-fiction books including Sigil Magic for Writers, Artists & Other Creatives, Kissing the Limitless, and Evolutionary Witchcraft. Thorn's work appears in many anthologies, magazines, and collections.

Thorn has taught magical practice in nine countries, on four continents, and in twenty-five states. Their other occupations have been numerous, and include working four years each on the Pacific Stock Options floor (as a young Anarchist punk with a blue, flat-top Mohawk), in a woman-run peep show, and full time in the San Francisco soup kitchen they ended up volunteering at for twenty years. All of this, along with Thorn's activism, informs their fiction.

An interloper to the Pacific Northwest, Thorn joyfully stalks city streets, writes in cafes, and talks to crows, squirrels, and trees.

OK with any pronouns, Thorn mostly uses they/them.

Justice forged from the fires of love

Thorn's books just keep getting better and better. Can a young Catholic Worker find love and spiritual fulfillment with a Witch? Can they join with a diverse community and change the city's treatment of houseless people? Watch and see. Aiden and Tobias seem like an unlikely couple at first. As they join forces to help Portland's houseless community, the Saint/Goddess Bridgit comes into both lives in a most dramatic manner. The results are great on all levels.

Years ago I took a course called "Twelve Weeks With a Goddess: Bridget" from Thorn Coyle. My experiences meeting Bridget then were much like those of Tobias and Aiden, though not in such a dramatic context. I was not expecting to actually encounter her, but there she was. This story brought those experiences back in a lovely way and refreshed my relationship with Bridget. In fact, she did some anvil work on me this morning that completely changed my way of seeing a situation that had been bothering me for months. Major healing took place.

I have already started on the next one, and I have heard rumors volume 5 is on the way. These are wonderful stories, authentic magic, and the characters come alive on the pages. Don't miss these. She is writing from her own experience and it shines through with a special kind of authenticity.

Loving this series!

Looking for Harry Dresden or Anita Blake? Go elsewhere. There are plenty of urban fantasy series full of anger, violence, aggression and fear. This isn’t one. This is more like de Lint: about people, relationships and love, in the world of magic and witchcraft, gentle and truly human. I’ve known people like this, practices like this. I like this world. I’d want to actually live here, unlike many other urban fantasies full of storm und drang. Written by a woman who knows this world and lives in it (be sure to check out her non-fiction). I’ve read other series and been entertained. I read these books and am inspired.

Review of By Flame - The Witches of Portland Book Two 04-2-18

I read this book all in one day over the course of several hours. I was spellbound, and could not stop reading. There is magic in the way that Thorn shapes her characters, new ones this time
emerge from the Witches in Portland. So many central issues of our times are covered within the framework of the magical coven, including interfaith community, homelessness, and persecution of people due to sexual preference, economic and race differences. A beautiful
portrait of the Goddess Brigid, whether known as Goddess or the Catholic Saint is dominant
within the expression of the key spiritual experiences in two main characters.

Thorn is a natural storyteller; this is a love story on so many levels. There is healing for the main characters in the story, and healing as well for the reader as the story’s energy ramps up slowly, intensifies and reaches its conclusion.

I can hardly wait for the next book.

By Flame - can't-put-it-down story of love, magic, justice, and Brigid

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

In By Flame, T. Thorn Coyle continues the story of the Arrow and Crescent Coven via Tobias, herbalist and coven member. In the midst of a crisis of confidence, Tobias encounters Aiden, a Catholic volunteer serving Portland's houseless community. Brought together through a surprising confluence of their spiritual experiences and a sinister series of events following on from By Earth, Tobias and Aiden join forces with the coven, other community members, and a Goddess to protect and heal the homeless community and themselves.

T. Thorn Coyle weaves a captivating story of community, magic, and social justice with her usual authority. Highly recommended!

I like this series

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021

I love stories that show people working out their issues with heart, spirit and vulnerability. The characters are engaging and the details of the Wican ritual work seem to echo modern practices in believable ways. Themes of social justice and equality are highlighted in this author's current day tale of a city enmeshed in a battle between justice and greed. It certainly highlights our world's present struggles in an engaging way.

Not your ordinary fantasy

I am grateful to have read such an awesome book. Magick can be found in all places. I have read the books in this series out of order and I agree it does not affect the story. If you read in order it will give highlights of the past, that's about it. I rarely find an author who can write well in various points of view.
This one has St.Brigid and the Goddess Brigid as a focal point helping the city of Portland.
I don't want to spoil much. If you're looking for a witchy fantasy book focused on healing. You've come to the right place.

a heartfelt and passionate story

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018

By Flame is a heartfelt and passionate story. Tobias and Aiden are drawn to one another, and become leaders in a movement to bring justice to a houseless community. While their spiritual practices differ, both work with Brigid, as Goddess and Saint. They are able to work through their differences to build a successful movement. T. Thorn Coyle is a marvelous storyteller. I became so engrossed with the story that I didn't notice clicking to turn the page--the pages seemed to turn by themselves. Before I knew it, the story had ended. I'm really looking forward to reading the next of the series in The Witches of Portland.
