About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling series!

Her world-altering secret can't be hidden much longer. Prepare to be spellbound by the third book in The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed fantasy author Laurie Forest.

Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthia—she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph…or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.

Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trust—her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel…the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.

With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It’s time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.

Ratings and reviews

you are an amazing author. keeping me stuck to a book series as hard as you have is impressive to me. I am now rereading the series for the 5th time and I own all books and novellas. your characters seem like old friends to me and I want to know them more. this book in particular I love because you introduce the multiple narrators. it helps so much to see the whole scope of the story as well as meeting new friends. thank you for writing so well. I love your books.

I was to the point that I could not and would not put this book down until the last page was read!!! What a book!!! Love love love!!! Can't wait for the next one!
