An unknown evil.
This is a relaunch of a previously released book by Donna Grant from early in her career. It is well written, with great characters and good world building. If you’ve read other books by Donna, you can see how she has grown as a writer over time. In this book we meet Serena of Hawthorne who is a bana-bhuidseach (a witch) and Drogan, Lord of Wolfglynn, with secondary characters of Gerald of Hawthorne and his wife and new baby. Serena is bearing a curse, which is an important part of the story and is a seer who gets glimpses of possible futures. From these pieces, Donna Grant weaves an intricate tale of magic, evil, and love. This 3-book series is interwoven with the presence of both magic and evil, and how it affects all the people involved. I enjoyed how Donna Grant uses both of her main characters to tell the story which is set in England during the reign of King Henry, probably during the 1400s.
The next book in the series is Echoes of Magic, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
I was given a copy of the book through BookFunnel, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
