Magic has a way of turning on its caster, something Edrea Braddocke understands all too well. It drove her father to madness and warped her mother into a malevolent witch who ensnared the town, hiding behind a façade of beauty to lure men to their doom. 

Despite her own desires, Edrea has been forced into aiding her mother in this deadly ritual. She years for escape yet dreads the price of defying her mother's dark magic. When a desperate boy tries to end the ritual, Edrea shields him, igniting her mother's wrath. Now, the witch wants her dead. 

Edrea faces an impossible choice: fight for her freedom against an unbeatable foe or plead for mercy from a mother who knows none. To survive, she must either appease the witch or find a way to vanquish her once and for all.

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
