It has been a long while since I last read this book, so it completely passed me by when I watched the show, but there is a strong parallel in the Mayfair Witches show from a scene that happens in Blackwood Farm.

In this scene, the ghost of Julien Mayfair reveals to Quinn Blackwood that he is his ancestor, and he reveals the manner of how it came to be.

TW for rape by deception bellow:

This is very similar to the show, when Deirdre thinks she’s having sex with the young man she met at the party…

But it was actually Cortland, wearing a mask and a costume.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I took the Lord’s name in vain four times… Eh, a lot of times. I gave Sister Sarah the finger when her back was turned… Again. What about the man?

Gonna put this under a cut due to heavy spoilers to The Witching Hour novel and to the first episode of the Mayfair Witches series, but I have a little theory about Deirdre and Rowan’s biological father.
