The Unwilling The Unwilling

Publisher Description

"Fantasy at its most sublime!"--Erin Morgenstern, New York Times bestselling author of THE NIGHT CIRCUS

"Suspenseful, magical, wonderfully written… An essential addition to all epic-fantasy collections." —Booklist, STARRED  review

A penetrating tale of magic, faith and pride…

Judah is an orphaned girl with a secret gift, born at the gates of Highfall castle. Raised alongside Gavin, heir to Lord Elban's empire, the two share an extrasensory bond—one that is key to Judah's survival and her possible undoing.

Elban—as mighty as he is cruel—plans to use Judah as a pawn to amass greater control. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But beyond the castle walls, a magus, a healer with his own powerful force, has arrived from the provinces. He, too, has designs on the realm, and at the heart of his plans lies Judah… The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon discover her own strength. Intriguingly, she does not have to be given power: she can just take it.

Rich and Rewarding Storytelling

This story was a sharp and intriguing dip into a new world of fantasy. The author puts everything into each line and enriched the story with powerfully imaginative details. As the start of a series this book will be well worth the reread to see how some of the minor bits tie into the next books and (of course) it is an excellent standalone book as well.

A long and winding road

What is it about writers that do not edit, condense and tighten up their writing. The premise was good and the characters were great but the back and forth, the inane conversations, and the too predictable story fillers went on forever. It was incredibly disappointing to wade through to literally end with a
Cliffhanger! And what is worse is the excerpt for the next book doesn’t get any closer to finishing the story - it’s another nightmarish waste of time. So don’t bother!
