Book excerpt: A young woman cursed by a witch, an old woman who uses magic and darkness to enslave her… This compelling and disturbing story of magic, betrayal, and the power of love, combines the best of historical fantasy and magical realism. “Since the dawn of time, witches have worked magic with the aid of a familiar, often taking the form of a toad, a raven, or a cat.” Caitlyn has lost everything – her king, her throne, her country. With her husband lying brutally slaughtered at her feet and with his enemies at her door, she flees for her life. Desperate, terrified, and plagued by visions of an evil woman performing dark rituals, Caitlyn seeks sanctuary with an English lord. But when the only man she feels she can trust betrays her, she escapes – and runs straight into the clutches of the woman from her visions. Herleva is a woman filled with ambition and greed; a woman who gets what she wants by whatever means possible – even if she has to practice the dark arts to achieve her goal. A woman who is a witch. Using magic and evil to cast her spells, Herleva transforms Caitlyn into a witch’s familiar. Having no choice but to do the witch’s bidding, Caitlyn’s life is changed forever by the hideous enchantment. Only death can free her. The question is, whose? Set in medieval Britain and France, where being accused of witchcraft is death, and ancient magic lies hidden, this is an epic historical fantasy that sweeps through the centuries and makes you question history itself. Not for the faint-hearted – contains adult themes and scenes of desperation, bloodshed, and dark, dangerous sorcery. What readers are saying: “This is a really good mix of historical drama and supernatural. I read the whole book in one day.” (Goodreads reviewer) “I had no real idea what to expect.

All of the above” (Goodreads reviewer) “What an unusual story of queens, kings, princes, dukes, lords, ladies, murder, death, danger, magic and witches” (Goodreads reviewer) “This book is full or murder, mayhem, battles, treachery, witchcraft, and yes, even the occasional lighthearted moment just to keep the book from being too deep. I loved every word of it and cannot wait for the next book in the series. To sum this book up in one word...EPIC!” (Goodreads reviewer) “This book was 100% not what I thought it was going to be; instead the story was unlike any I’ve ever read before & I ended up totally enthralled” (Goodreads reviewer)
