Ever since Yul defied him at the Summer Solstice, his power has been waning and his mood darkening. Nobody challenges his authority and survives.
Sylvie is in danger too. Magus has discovered her secret his desire to possess it is putting her life at risk. As each full moon rises Sylvie is made to suffer more and the agony she endures as her magic is stolen leaves her increasingly exhausted, sapping her will to fight back. Unless he can be stopped, every full moon could be Sylvie's last.Are Yul and Sylvie the only ones who see the truth behind Magus' mask of kindness Why is everyone so deceived by his charm - and why is Mother Heggy, the mysterious wise-woman the only one who will help themA fantastic read. I really felt like I knew the characters in this book, and I felt their pain and hopelessness at the situation they were in. I felt anger, worry, frustration; all manner of emotions as I was reading this. I still feel it, because their journey hasnt finished yet, and I have no idea what will happen to them next. If a book can make me feel so passionately, I know it must be good. * BOOK CHICK CITY *
