Publisher's summary

After joining the Elemental Coven, young witch Lilith's eyes were opened to the truth that the Council has always been desperate to keep hidden. With only two Covens still standing, Lilith's world is in real danger of collapsing and so is the Elemental Coven. After a mysterious illness begins to infect the Coven, witches are dying and not even coven leader Willow's power of resurgence is enough to save them.

After the Battle of the Grove destroys Lilith's good leg, and her ability to walk, she faces an internal war about her future that consumes her, dragging her further and further into the darkness. Willow is desperate to help Lilith find the light because Lilith isn't just her sister, she is the Elemental Coven's last hope of survival. As the Sage's ex-apprentice, Lilith is the only witch capable of taking down the ancient ruler.

As the war destroys the last of the covens, Lilith knows there is only one way to end the chaos for good - a final showdown against the Sage that only one of them will walk away from.

fierce fantasy!

The Sage is the third book in the Witch's Ambitions trilogy, and it was worth the wait! As with any good series, the author has deepened character development with each book, even as she weaves the threads of several mysteries together to complete a rich and vibrant tapestry.

Technically, I suppose this trilogy would fall under the umbrella of YA fantasy, but thanks in large measure to the stunning voice work of ✫LYNNNORRIS✫, a favorite narrator who brings a wide-ranging cast of characters to vivid. three-dimensional life, I find that the series more than rose to a level worthy of grown-up attention and enjoyment. In short, if you relish a good fantasy yarn, this'll do the trick for you. Though The Sage could possibly stand on its own, I think you'll savor it much more if you start with the first two books (The Council and The Elemental Coven), which will surely enrich your experience of the last one. I'd heard the first two before I listened to The Sage, but I plan to go back and enjoy all three in quick succession, to get the biggest possible bang out of the series as a whole.

Without giving too much away, I'll just say that our young protagonist, Lilith, is a supremely gifted witch (though, for reasons I won't reveal here, her discovery of her powers comes later than most) with beautiful intentions, but a lot of childhood pain that makes her mistrustful both of her own judgment and of the people in her life. She's smart, she's angry, and she's deeply loyal and loving once you've gained her hard-won trust. These nuances are fully realized in Lynn Norris's splendid portrayal of this complicated girl, not to mention the people in her life — also wounded and flawed, also brave and kind — and those who wish harm to the Elemental Coven of which she's now a member. She and her friends and family are fighting for survival against the proverbial dark forces, who've left her increasingly unsure of what is real and true. But her coven's survival is in her hands, and she must come to terms with her past before she can lead them to safety and freedom.

So worth your time. And narrator Lynn Norris brings pacing, humor, pathos, and a vast capacity for characterization to the table, to keep you fully immersed to the last syllable.
