The ancient order of the Cré-Witches is under attack. Spirit-walker, Maeve—the only one of her kind—is isolated by her ability to walk amongst the witches of the past. Yet, her hidden desire is to bond with one of the powerful warrior guardians, and her darkest fear is that she never will. Amongst dissent throughout the Baile Castle coven, Roderick, the oldest and mightiest of the fierce warrior … Roderick, the oldest and mightiest of the fierce warrior guardians, is called into service to protect Maeve.
When witch-hunts, powerful arcane enemies, and unforgivable betrayal drive the coven to the edge of extinction, this young, inexperienced witch and her newly bonded warrior guardian are all that stand against the potential death of Cré-Magic. Unbeknownst to the two of them, their connection has been forged by the Goddess to face a challenge hundreds of years in the future—so somehow, they have to be enough.

Maeve is a spirit walker. The original witches of four points of the compass and four elements warn of a danger and a burden she will not bear alone.
Rhiannon is the one cast out by the original three. Blood magic and betrayal may allow her a foothold in her target. It is not clear what her endgame is beyond vengeance and power.
The thing about blood magic, beyond it’s great power, one can never tell quite how it will work, or account all the costs.
Maeve seems called to bear a burden to be some part of what faces the evil stirred up by Rhiannon. She has a stalwart and loyal if unexpected companion.
Their main battles lie ahead

I enjoyed this entertaining new series. Great world building, complex characters and a well crafted engaging storyline are combined and crafted into one very intriguing package. This book ends on a cliffhanger that will have you eager for more.
This book was the perfect beginning to a new series. The characters were well developed and interesting, the plot was solid, and the world-building was excellent. I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment. Fair warning, this is meant as a prequel, so it does end on a bit of a cliff hanger. This only adds to my anticipation for the next book. Having read this author before, I can guarantee it’s going to rock! I would highly recommend this story. Dare I say, it’s magically delicious!
Loved my introduction to the Cre-witches.
Maeve is the witch in the coven who can commune with the spirits of the witches who have passed on. The spirits tell her of things to come, but not with any clarity. Her coven comes under attack from the villagers who are getting misinformation and they become scared of the witches who have only ever helped the villagers.
As things become scrambled in the castle Maeve and a few of her counterparts take shelter from the fighting and slaughter. Maeve’s protector comes along when the trouble is more than he can fight to save. His first priority is to protect and assist Maeve.
Maeve and Roderick will be a powerful couple if given a chance.
Welcome to the world of the ancient order of Cré-Witches. In this prequel, we are given the background of the witches, their protectors (coimhdeacht), and the betrayal of the witches by some of their own. There are many interesting characters and some you just want to throttle. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
