Maggie Holt is a teenage practitioner who became involved with the supernatural due to an event that led to Goblins destroying her previous home. She made a vow to bring forth three cases of "Blood and Darkness" to the leader of the goblins in exchange for leaving her and her fathers alive. She then moved to Jacob's Bell six months before the story began and started with the practice of using the very things that destroyed her home.
Maggie is a tentative ally of Blake Thorburn during the time of his contest with Conquest and is thought to be Possessed by an Other and doesn't seem able to sleep.
Appearance
Heavy eyebrows and a checkered scarf
Personality
Maggie describes herself as a power hungry fool, seeking power and knowledge that is hard to come by due to starting out with so little. This allowed her to be taken advantage of by Laird Behaim who tricked her into killing Molly Walker. While she seems apologetic about it, Maggie is noted at times to be absolutely ruthless and violent, much like the Goblins she commands.

Bonds
Maggie first appears in Blake's dreams as a result of killing Molly Walker, activating the fail-safe put into place with her death, arguing with Laird Behaim.
Damages
Maggie later appears during the council meeting where she expressed an interest in the deal that was being offered by Blake Thorburn. She walked him halfway to his house and explained that they were new so she wanted to talk to them about a potential alliance since they were both near the bottom of the rung in terms of power. She then later came over to his home and was enthralled by all the knowledge they had amassed, working a deal for their cooperation until Laird Behaim appeared and revealed to Blake that she had killed his cousin on his orders. She tells him that she was a power-hungry fool and apologized, but the damage was done and the partnership terminated.
