About this listen

Dark forces are on the rise in this sweeping sequel to The Black Witch by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest.

Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon. The last thing they expected was to be thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest.

While the Resistance struggles to fight back against the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, more and more Gardnerian soldiers descend upon the University…led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the nearby military base. Though Elloren tries to keep him at arm's length, Lukas is determined to tie himself to her, still convinced that she is the heir to the power of the Black Witch, a legacy of magic that will decide the future of all Erthia. As his own magic calls out to her, seeking to awaken a dark force within, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she's truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.

As she navigates the dangerous line of insurgency, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves...even if that means protecting them from herself.

Great sequel

Once you get past some of the more saddening parts in the first part of the book it picks up pace and becomes more exciting, I read a similar review and it kept me going. I did pause the audio a few times because the constant urgency in the readers voice could become too much after hours of listening. I listened to this only 2 days after the first book so the stories are a little blurred together for me but overall I enjoyed the book and would recommend you give it a read/ listen, especially if you listened to the first one. I’m going to listen to the prequels whilst I wait for the next one.

Loving this series!

I started this series seeking a new book series after iron flames book hangover. Wanted something different and new regarding story line. I thoroughly enjoyed black witch, but the second book just got better! I love the story line and characters. I love that you can’t just predict what’s going to occur! The audio performance was pretty good too! Overall I would highly recommend getting into this series. Keen for book 3
