(Inner Circle Sanctuary still, and probably always will, advises caution with public Witchery, the wearing of pentagrams at work, etc. The friction between the older generation, which seeks to keep the Art secret (and so, protected) and the younger Witches who always think in these modern times, we can be public with no fear of persecution is another very real aspect of the book. The selfless one with uncanny powers (and the training to use them) the one who sees the best in people and pays the price for it the one who only views Witchcraft as a means to an end, with no regard for others all play a part in this epic, and I feel as though I already know them. With each successive generation of Witches, she totally nails many of the personality types we meet in the Magical community. These characters are what really makes me wonder if the author, Louisa Morgan, is giving us a “Speak not to me of such, it frightens me” if she claims to be innocent of Witchcraft. The scenes are lavishly described, the pace is perfect, and I was almost talked to the characters. I was fortunate enough to find this as a paperback at Barnes and Noble, took the chance, and was immediately enthralled by the masterful storytelling.
