About this ebook

After managing to bury a vicious witch with her elemental magic, Georjie is horrified to learn entombing the spellcaster in soil has enabled the dark woman to rise again…and time is running out.

Their romance blossoming in spite of the threat, Georjie and Lachlan travel to Dundee for clues to the fiend’s power. Learning that the ashes of three Wise will increase Daracha's power, and the ultimate goal is the destruction of the veil between worlds, Georjie realizes she's in way over her head.

When the vengeful hag's shadowy pet demon comes after her, Georjie narrowly escapes into the Fae realm. There, she’s warned against returning to face the danger by someone who has tangled with the witch before. She's encouraged to start a new life within the protection Queen Elphame's realm can provide. But Georjie won’t let the monster roam free, even if it means risking her own life.

Can Georjie unlock her magic or will the black witch claim her ashes?

Ratings and reviews

This book offers a lot of information. It is a bit slower paced, but it is definitely worth reading. I found all of the information interesting, to help understand the world. The world created was an amazing fantasy world. It has action, magic, friendship, and understanding. Even with the slower pace you will be drawn in I highly recommend this book, but make sure you read the first book before this one. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a fantastic second book in this trilogy. The detail around the faerie realm and Daracha's history coming out the intrigue in this Scottish setting was really engaging. It was really easy to read and went really fast. I read this with kindle unlimited.

Georjie and Lachlan are still going strong, but what will happen if Daracha returns. ? How strong will she be? Should she stay in the Fae Realm? Could she do that to the humans?. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
