</infobox>

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.

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.

Because of the incident that destroyed her town, Maggie is rarely fazed by the chaos she finds herself involved in. She's also fairly accepting of unusual circumstances, such as her father and his husband, Chris. She seemed to have had a fondness for Blake, once expressing an interest in kissing him on the cheek and touching his face, both of which he avoided due to not liking being touched.

Chronology

Histories

In the past Maggie and her friend, Heather, were leaving school when someone left what first appeared to be a corpse but was instead eat and garbage with a dog trapped inside. She noticed a man standing out and took his picture.

Things progressively get worse with house fires, assaults, and vandalism among other things. It comes to a point when Heather, Ben, and Jeremy, her friends, all heading to play videogames when she found the same man from before and took his photo again. This time he got out of the car and asked her to delete it, which she refused on account of him being suspicious, and he tells her to delete the photos and leave the town since it "is a dying place, and soon it will become a place of dying, of fire and violence and darkness.”

She refused and he tried to take the phone, only for it to lead to him retreating when it seemed like things would get worse. Later on, while at Ben's home, she is attacked by two figures with knives who came after her for the phone. She jumps out of a one-story window to get to safety.

By the time Thursday came around things were worse, no phones, sirens everywhere, fires, no police. Maggie felt helpless, unsure of what happened to her friends. When there was a safety meeting on Monday she once again encountered the man from before, alongside her parents, and warns her that things are about to get dangerous and that all the cars have been sabotaged, explaining without too many details that he was running damage control and those photos gave her a connection to him that put her in the firing line.

When they tried to leave they found flies and animal blood all over the street and were surrounded by Goblins. The leader of the goblins stated she had a connection to him and he was spoiling her fun, using a bridge of bones to get across the threshold of the town, and moved to kill them until the stranger showed up and offered himself for them. He had warned as many people as he could on how to fight against their kind and gave them his luck and the majority of his power, so by giving himself up she will get and bathe in the rest of the power he possessed as she did other types of Others.

The Goblin leader had the practitioner's arms and legs broken and would only release Maggie's father since he would feel it the most when they died. Maggie promised to do anything if all of the were let go, so the leader made her take an Oath to bring forth two more incidents of "blood and darkness and fire" to allow her to keep coming back rather than sleep for centuries. So Maggie and her fathers left.

At the end of the arc, two months before Blake's return, Laird Behaim offered her a chance to uphold the prophecy in a quiet and controlled manner that they both could benefit from and told her that the only thing that was important was that the person who would instigate this was Molly Walker and she could leave everything else to him.

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.

Breach

In this arc Blake comes to Maggie and asks to borrow her goblins, offering a chance of reconciliation. She gives him a few paper-sealed Goblins, as well as Dickswizzle. He later returns them to her.
