In a time nearly ancient, before a brave Scottish princess defied her mother, a young woman has lost everything.

Except for her unexplainable talent for magic.

Now Magda's being hunted, and in her attempt to survive, loneliness and desperation take control.

Until she meets someone who offers her a chance at happiness, at normalcy, at the fullness of life. Then she discovers something wrong, so shockingly wrong with this hopeful future, and she must make a harrowing decision to ensure her survival.

And she will have to draw on all her magic to do it.

Actions have repercussions -- Magda knows this better than anyone else -- and with her magic, she will ensure everyone else learns that lesson as well.

 

Review

This book will consume you, it’s wonderfully written and a great overall read and addition to the series. 

I loved the attention to detail to the time and place. Getting the reader caught up but throwing them right into the action.

Great characterization yet again. You are invested with these characters again right from the start as well as consumed by the mystery and journey right along with them. 

Beautiful romance that took a bit to get going but was all-consuming.
