A prodigy pygmy owl. A possessive firedrake. A booby-trapped castle. Gargoyles come to life. Who said magic would be ordinary?
No one can access magic like Clara does, but her powers are unpredictable and dangerous. She has to learn how to control them.
When she falls into one of the castle’s many traps before she can, becoming a prisoner of the merworld, there’s only one person who can save her. And he’s already fighting for his life.
But that’s not the worst of their problems. An immortal count, with a heart fueled by darkness, intends to claim the souls of everyone within Irele Castle.

Finally at Irele, Clara is unsure of the fate of herself and Marcelo. After being attacked by Winston and trying her best to get to Irele to save Marcelo, Clara has been running on adrenaline with the only thought of getting to Mordecai and Albacus for help. Clara’s training into magic is about to begin but the future is unclear with darkness approaching.
I really enjoyed this book, it was so much more exciting then book one. Clara grows and matures in this book, her acceptance towards her magic abilities is admirable. The bond and connection between Marcelo and Clara is beautiful and strong, with everything going on around them they are able to except what is going on between them and not question it. The brothers Mordecai and Albacus were bit of a mystery at the beginning but as the book goes on they become role models and father like figures.
This book was filled with action, suspense, mystery, magic, love, revelations, battle and death. I was hooked from the beginning and read it in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down and was disappointed when it ended, I rooted for the main characters and was shocked at the end of the battle. I can’t wait to see what’s next for these characters.
The Five Petal Knot is the second book in the Witching World series. Ms Ashta continues from where she ended Book 1. She has continued to develop her magical world and well as developing the characters into interesting, loveable individual to a level that fits this second book. Ms. Ashta has the unique ability to bring her stories to life with the written word. You do not feel like you’re reading about this story but that you are a part of the story experiencing the emotion and what is happening. There were many twists and turns, some I saw coming others that caught me by surprise. I am excited to begin the next book in this adventure. I highly recommend this phenomenal story and series. Don’t pass it by. I received a copy and this is my voluntary and hones review.
This series is just getting better and better with each book. Marcelo & Clara’s bond is growing stronger. Her abilities are getting stronger. And the fight against dark magic begins with it’s triumphs and loses.
I received this book while free on a retailer. I’m freely giving an honest review.
The Five-Petal Knot follows Clara whom we met in the first book of The Witching World Series.Clara is at the castle with two wizards and Marcelo and with strange happenings and castles not being what they seem, and with something dark approaching, I didn’t want to put this book down. I really like this series, its unique and very well written. I can’t wait to start the next one!
A TOUCH OF GOLD!!!
When Lucia’s hot, she’s sizzling. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Every story I’ve read of that Lucia’s written I’ve love her creative bent. I truly believe she pours her heart and soul in each piece. She totally rocks this read just like the others. Her creative talents along with her imagination and insight are limitless and hold. Her characters are so realistic and believable she brings them alive before our eyes. Their personalities are spot on with human characteristics that will blow your mind and leave you breathless. Her descriptions are graphic to give you a full understanding and realism that seems to breathe with life. As always Lucia did an incredible job bringing this read together beautifully. Great job Lucia, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters definitely leap off of the pages, and I’m enjoying getting to see how Clara evolves over time. I would recommend this book to fans of YA fantasy, witches/witchcraft and adventure.
