Publisher's summary

A powerful Enchantress gone astray, drawn to dark, wicked magicks; a faithful Wizard sworn to uphold both the Enchantress and the kingdom she seeks to destroy; the High Kings fading into ruin. After the first Enchantress’ demise, the peoples of Caeradin determined that no such creature could be allowed to rise to power again. The surviving nobles devised a solution - the Witch Hunt.

Seven centuries later, Master Rhys Claytherdon decides it is time the most prestigious household in Caeradin makes a few changes. Soon to inherit his father’s realm as Lord of Gildio and Master of the Hunt, Rhys is determined to see the Witch Hunt ended. All that stands in his way is his tutor and household advisor, Lord Mage Vespar - renowned as the greatest mage in Caeradin. Rhys makes his ultimate choice by rescuing a six-year-old witch from her inevitable death sentence and must face the consequences. What he can’t imagine is how this child, granted with tremendous magical gifts, could prove to be the salvation or ruin of all of Caeradin.

A Worthy Read

I really liked the story. The set up is interesting, the characters are easy to love, and the writing is well done. You really feel the emotions right along with the story.

The narrators reading is well done and entertaining.

good story

I enjoyed listening to the book. The narrator did a good job, especially with the girls. male readers inflict way too hard for female voices and it's a little off-putting. but this one was nice and subtle. The story was good, that I felt like there were moments where it kind of jumped ahead in the story. and I would feel lost for a little while. and go back if you minutes and re-listen to make sure I hadn't missed something. A hard copy would have eliminated this problem, but as an audible listener it would sometimes get confusing. All in all, though, the story was done very well. I look forward to the next book, as this one felt as though it only just got into character building and still leaves so much more to understand of each character. I will highly recommend this book once the second one is out, so it can be read one right after the other and enjoyed even more story.
