Back Cover: On the Eclipse o’ the
Two Moons, all will be healed or broken, saved or surrendered… It has been
sixteen years since the Day of Reckoning, when magic and witchcraft were
outlawed throughout all of Eileanan. And through rumors say that she is dead,
the Arch-Sorceress Meghan o’ the Beasts still lives. Traveling with her are the
true heir to the throne, and the red-haired warrior Iseult. Their fates are
woven together in a quest to bring magic back to the land…As Eileanan nears its
darkest hour, Meghan must gather rebel forces to move upon the city of
Lucescere. There, the Righ lies near death, and his Queen, Maya the
Ensorcellor, and her babe stand to inherit his power. To end Maya’s brutal
reign and bring magic out of the shadows, what was broken must be brought
together: twin sisters who have never met… three parts of an enchanted key…and
the winged man with the powers of the lost Lodestar…
This is the second book in the Witches of Eileanan epic
series. Things are moving fast now. Everything that Meghan has worked towards
is about to happen. The race to get to the Lodestar is beautifully written. I
was on the edge of my seat to see how it would play out. So well done and
through it all I felt very sorry for the Righ as well as for Maya. I look
forward to reading the continuation of this series in the Cursed Towers.
