The Shadow Wand

De: Laurie Forest

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

The New York Times bestselling series!

Her world-altering secret can't be hidden much longer. Prepare to be spellbound by the third book in The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed fantasy author Laurie Forest.

Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthia—she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph…or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.

Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trust—her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel…the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.

With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It’s time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.

Obsessed!

You always worry that when you begin a series that is so good, it may disappoint down the line. I just finished book 3 of this series and let me say... this is amazing!

Mage Elloren Gardner realizes at this point she has powers. Now she has to learn how to use what has been hidden from her all these years. What others have spent years trying to grow she has to learn and grow in a short time.

Everyone's biggest fear in all the realms is that the new Black Witch will be like the one before. Evil and wanting to destroy everyone that is not the same race as them. Those who should be helping Elloren, as they are on the same side, are also trying to kill her out of fear of the past. Because of this, Elloren finds she must go back to Lukas and ask for his protection. Considering how they left things prior, she is not sure if he will be willing.

More laughs, loss, and twists are in book 3. It does not disappoint. The narrator once again does a fabulous job voicing all of the characters in this third installment. Book 4 does not come out until December! I have no idea how I am going to last so long waiting to see what happens next.

On the edge of my seat!

Ahh! The only problem I had with this book, is that with all the description, I almost forget what dialog is being said!
