Book 1: The Warlock
Book 2: The Wysard

 

"Such a joy to narrate this. The story and characters take flight so naturally and then soar. It takes you down so many unexpected paths. And it's all its own creature, never fearing to be entirely its own magical self." —Simon de Deney

Reader and Blogger Reviews

 

"Wonderfully written. I was hooked right away and loved that I couldn't predict what was to come next. 5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommend." —Memories Overtaking Me

 

"Great characters." The warlock is "mesmerizing! Dark, dangerous, slightly rude, yet still somehow gentle and tortured by his tragic past. What's there not to love?" —Hazel the Witch

 

"I adore the world building. It felt like a thin mist crawling in … rearranging the landscape. Everything was so detailed and full of imagery." —Fire Star Books

 

"This is up there with the great books of wonder! Would love to see this as a movie. Have spent three days reading each book with hardly any sleep. It's so enthralling that I would say I was bespelled by each word." —Manna Corley

"Be ready to feel the raw emotions of this girl. Be ready to wonder at the empathy you will feel for this man. Great read." —Ann, Amazon

 

"Captivating. I loved this series from beginning to end. Complex characters and unexpected plot twists kept me reading far too late into the night." —Amy, Amazon

 

"I couldn't go to sleep until I finished it. The characters and setting came alive, and I found myself pulled into the story like Carin was pulled to the enchanted pool." —Jane, Amazon

 

"I was HOOKED. I read until 3 a.m. two nights in a row to finish this. The magic system is unique and the characters are as morally gray as they come." —Megan, Goodreads
