The magical voice of Julia Whelan casts a spell over Forest’s sequel—picking up where THE BLACK WITCH ended. Elloren is still at the university and sheltering Marina, the rescued selkie, with the help of various friends. But life’s becoming more dangerous for all those who work for the underground Resistance. Smooth-voiced and perfectly paced, Whelan strikes all the right tones, easily distinguishing a formidable cast of characters through her skillful use of accents and pitch. Her characterizations advance the story while building suspense and stakes. There are many couples in this book, and Whelan masterfully creates romantic tension; for example, Elloren is torn between Lukas and Yvan, with no easy choice in sight. Whelan’s narration will please avid fans and delight new listeners. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
The New York TImes bestselling series!
Dark forces are on the rise in this sweeping second book in The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed fantasy author Laurie Forest.
Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon. The last thing they expected was to be thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest.
While the Resistance fights the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, Gardnerian soldiers descend upon the University...led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the nearby military base. Though Elloren tries to keep him at arm's length, Lukas is determined to tie himself to her, convinced that she's the heir to the power of the Black Witch, a legacy that will decide the future of Erthia. As his magic calls to her, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe she's truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.*
