Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock

Waterspell Book 1: The Warlock

—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 teenage misfit 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. This is Book 1 of a series. The story continues in Waterspell Book 2: The Wysard and Book 3: The Wisewoman, and concludes with the long-awaited Book 4: The Witch.

The world building is solid and intriguing, the magical aspects well drawn and versatile and characterisation is energetic so that you are immediately invested in their future. The ending with its wonderful cliffhanger will ensure that you read on ... All in all a marvellous addition to the fantasy genre and I would recommend it for lovers of magical mystical tales." —Liz Wilkins
