To her relief, it seems her faith was not misguided, as Lance is healed by Noah in the most extraordinary way! Furthermore, she finds Noah to be a kind and patient man, as he offers her and her brother food and shelter, to the relief of Joy who has been on the road travelling from village to village for a good length of time. But it is only when a dramatic event occurs that Noah’s true identity and abilities are made clear. Joy then comes to understand the troubled and mysterious man much better, and more importantly, she comes to see that they are not so different, a thought that only serves to intensify the feelings that she has for Noah! The Look of a Witch Jess is taken by surprise when she discovers that she is being watched and followed. She is all the more stunned when she finds out that the identity of her watcher is a man named Gideon who has magnificent green eyes that resembles her own eye colouring! And even more disturbingly Gideon, upon being questioned, tells her that he is a witch and that she is one too. He explains that has been following her since he noticed her hypnotising an innocent market seller with her magical ability, an action that revealed her to be the same kind as him. Jess knows nothing about witches and has no real knowledge of her own true identity, which has been hidden by her folks. But now that Gideon has peaked her interest, she is ready to gain a better understanding of who and what she is. But even though she thinks she is ready to find out the truth of her identity, she had not counted on, at the same time, being so ill-prepared for the emotions and feelings that Gideon’s presence is able to provoke within her! A Witch’s Inner Magic Lara’s village is on the verge of being seized by a new order of witches who expect all other witches to join with them in their battle against humankind – and they will not take no for an answer! Lara is very much concerned that the new order will follow through with their threat and punish her beloved village. But at the same time, she has other pressing matters on her mind – namely her childhood friend Dwight, a witch with no magic to speak of, who is wreaking havoc on her emotions as he tries to persuade her to run away with him so they can be together and escape any potential conflict. But Lara will not leave the place she has grown up in, and which she calls home so easily, leaving Dwight with little choice but to stick by her side and do everything in his power to make sure his one and only love is protected! The Witch’s Fight Lord Daniel Clifford, a powerful witch, is woken up in the middle of the night by his maid Rhiannon, who comes to warn him about a group of witches called the new order who are on their way to imprison him. Daniel is full of outrage at such an attack against him, but controls himself enough to listen to Rhiannon’s rational words and escape before they get their hands on him, allowing him to come back to fight them another day, when the odds are more in his favour. Up until that point, Daniel had always been satisfied to avoid any decision-making with regard to joining the new order of witches who believe in enslaving all humans. But as he spends more time with Rhiannon and acknowledges his growing attraction for her, he eventually comes to understand the decision he must make and the powerful reason behind it!

In her small early nineteenth century Welsh town, there is no one quite like Morgana. She is small and quick and pretty enough to attract a suitor, but there are things that set her apart from other girls. Though her mind is sharp she has not spoken since she was a young girl. Her silence is a mystery, as well as her magic—the household objects that seem to move at her command, the bad luck that visits those who do her ill. Concerned for her safety, her mother is anxious to see Morgana married, and Cai Jenkins, the widowed drover from the far hills who knows nothing of the rumors that swirl around her, seems the best choice. After her wedding, Morgana is heartbroken at leaving her mother, and wary of this man, whom she does not know, and who will take her away to begin a new life. But she soon falls in love with Cai's farm and the wild mountains that surround it. Here, where frail humans are at the mercy of the elements, she thrives, her wild nature and her magic blossoming. Cai works to understand the beautiful, half-tamed creature he has chosen for a bride, and slowly, he begins to win Morgana's affections. It's not long, however, before her strangeness begins to be remarked upon in her new village. A dark force is at work there—a person who will stop at nothing to turn the townspeople against Morgana, even at the expense of those closest to her.

Download or read book The Third Witch written by Rebecca Reisert and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-03-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebecca Reisert's mesmerizing first novel re-imagines Macbeth, Shakespeare's classic tragedy of power and madness, through the eyes of a mysterious young woman on a dangerous quest for vengeance. For the girl called Gilly, life in the wilds of Birnam Wood is little more than a desperate struggle for survival. Seven long years have passed since she was first taken in and sheltered by Nettle and Mad Helga, the hut-dwelling wise-women whose inscrutable powers of alchemy and prophecy are feared and reviled throughout good King Duncan's kingdom. Living under the threat of deadly persecution by witch-hunting villagers, the threesome ekes out a life by peddling potions and elixirs, scavenging for food, and robbing the bloodied corpses of Scotland's battle-scarred hills for precious metals and weapons. But Gilly is haunted by recollections of a much brighter life. She clings to fading memories of a time when she was contented and adored -- until tragedy swept all that happiness away and young Gilly's life was changed forever. I have made my life an arrow, and His heart is my home. I have made my heart a blade, and His heart is my sheath....Obsessed with avenging her loss and putting out the fire that still rages in her heart, Gilly has dedicated herself to destroying Macbeth, the boundlessly ambitious man who took away her childhood, and his goading wife. Disguising herself as a poor servant boy, she insinuates herself into their lives and, as she bears horrified witness to Macbeth's violent path to power, Gilly subtly begins to take a hand in the forces governing his fate. But as the culmination of her revenge draws near, Gilly finds her own life at risk when she confronts the troubling legacy of a long-concealed heritage. The Third Witch is a brilliantly imagined, wonderfully satisfying novel. In a riveting story of ruthlessness and revenge, debut author Rebecca Reisert demonstrates a profound understanding of the Bard's timeless drama -- and of the real-life Macbeth upon whom Shakespeare's incarnation is modeled.
