A Great Winged One will soon arise and cast his fearsome shadow upon the land. And just as Night slays Day, and Day slays Night, so also shall another Black Witch rise to meet him, her powers vast beyond imagining.
So foretells the greatest prophecy of the Gardnerian mages. Carnissa Gardner, the last prophesied Black Witch, drove back the enemy forces and saved her people during the Realm War. Now a new evil is on the horizon, and her granddaughter, Elloren, is believed to be Carnissa’s heir—but while she is the absolute image of her famous grandmother, Elloren is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above nearly all else.
When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren is eager to join her brothers at the prestigious Verpax University and finally embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her grandmother’s legacy. But she soon realizes that the University, which admits all manner of peoples—including the fire-wielding, winged Icarals, the sworn enemies of her people—is an even more treacherous place for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.
Hi everyone!! thank-you so much for stopping by today.
Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Do my eyes deceive me? Are that 600 pages of glorious fantasy that I see? And is that Robin Hobb praising this book in the reviews?
Goodness gracious I think I may have died and gone to heaven!!!! Fantasy and Robin Hobb in one page! Don’t know who Robin Hobb is? Look it up
Ok, lovelies, The Black Witch by Laurie Forest sounds SUPER fantastic no? I love fantasy, I can’t express enough how much I cherish it. So you can see why I’m remarkably eager for this book. It’s not only fantasy but it’s a damn standalone!!!! Which makes this book top of the list.
I didn’t realize this was a standalone!! Although I always love a good series, it’d be nice to read an awesome fantasy standalone. Cannot wait for this one!
RIGHT!! I like my series too. BUT sometimes you just need that one book that ends lol. Thanks for stopping by xoxo
