Publisher Description
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.

Customer Reviews
Wow...
Really fell in love with the first two books, but this one... this one wasn’t so good. 3/5 stars only because it’s still part of the series and I have hope for the next book to be better. Still a good read though.
Stop Here
My advice is to stop at book 2. The first two books were great and you have read far enough. I truly though I had a new favorite author. However, things get worse from here on with the series. Save your time and money because the storyline will suffer and get mired down. There is no satisfying ending. It simply becomes a long road of social agenda with no true victory. I had real trouble finishing this series, but wanted to see if it picked up the pace and ended with a bang. It did not.
