Back Cover: Dreams Made Flesh.
The Blood have waited centuries for the coming of Witch, the living embodiment
of magic. But Jaenelle, the young girl singled out by prophecy, is haunted by
the cruel battles fought over her – for not all the Blood await her as their savior.
Some dismiss her as myth. Some refuse to believe. And still others look forward
to using her, making her a puppet to their whims. Only time and the love of her
guardians have healed Jaenelle’s physical wounds. But her mind is still
fragile, barely able to protect her from the terrible memories of her
childhood. Nothing, however, and keep her from her destiny – and the day of
reckoning looms near. When her memories return… when her magic matures… when
she is forced to accept her fate. On that day, the dark Realms will know what
it means to be ruled by Witch.
As the story continues we see
Jaenelle grow. Meeting many of her friends who come and stay with her to learn
and share along side Jaenelle. I was very happy when Lucivar found her again.
But sadden that Daemon was in the Twisted Kingdom forgotten by Jaenelle. The
story is starting to take on a darker path. As you meet more characters there
are those that we loose. The way this is written you can’t help but to wonder
what will happen next. How will it all turn out? I loved this book and am
looking forward to reading the next book, The Queen of Darkness.
