Publisher Description
Making a place for yourself in a world where you don't belong takes courage. So does moving in with a warlock.
Drawn into the schemes of an angry wizard, Carin glimpses the place she once called home. It lies upon a shore that seems unreachable. To learn where she belongs and how to get there, the lost traveler must decipher the words of an alien book, follow the clues in a bewitched poem, conjure a dragon from a pool of magic — and tread carefully around a tortured, emotionally scarred sorcerer who can't seem to decide whether to love her or kill her.
With elements of eco-fantasy, mystery, a little slow-burning romance, and dark dystopian undercurrents, Waterspell is a cross-genre story with too many layers for a single label. Intricate plot twists and compelling characters weave a tale of redemption and belonging, in a gripping saga that will captivate lovers of immersive storytelling.
The Warlock is Book 1 of the series. The story continues in Books 2-4: The Wysard, The Wisewoman, and The Witch. The saga carries on into a new generation with a pair of linked sequels, The Karenina Chronicles and The Fires of Farsinchia.

Absolute Magic!
What is that indefinable ingredient that makes a book great?
I read prolifically, always seeking that piece of magic so often missing in countless thousands of books. I’m not rich and I read so much that the only way to keep my addiction fed is to use free sites, where I get countless books and always have at least a couple of books ‘in the bank’. For decades - I kid you not - I have been looking for an author who can hold a candle to my all-time absolute favourite author, Robin Hobb. To be able to weave such fantastic stories with characters fully fleshed and multi-dimensional, characters that you can love, hate, and all those shades between, the type of story that immersed you in a universe of the author’s making. I love this book, have just purchased the second book in the series; Wysard and have to go now so that I can read it!
I am thrilled to find you!
A fascinating fantasy
A flowing, well-written tale that quickly captures the imagination. This story maintains its internal world-building with a believable narrative and an empathetic heroine. It’s the best book I’ve read for a while. Enjoy!
