THERE’S MAGIC IN HER BLOOD.
Arrah is a young woman from a long line of the most powerful witch doctors in the land. But she fails at magic, fails to call upon the ancestors and can’t even cast the simplest curse.
Shame and disappointment dog her.
When strange premonitions befall her family and children in the kingdom begin to disappear, Arrah undergoes the dangerous and scorned process of selling years of her life for magic. This borrowed power reveals a nightmarish betrayal and a danger beyond what she could have imagined. Now Arrah must find a way to master magic, or at least buy it, in order to save herself and everything she holds dear.
An explosive fantasy set in a world of magic and legend with a twist you will never see coming.

Jan’s Review
This story follows the story of a daughter of two strong magical families. She can see magic floating through the air always out of reach. When her last chance arrives to gain magic it passes her by. She chooses to do the unthinkable to gain magic and uncovers some series secrets that her mother has kept hidden.
I rated this a 3 and it mostly because i think the author has an amazing story to tell but their was lot to unpack in this story. The first half of the book is very strong, the descriptions of the magic floating around, the family relationship, the love interest all well flushed out and strong. When we moved along in the story and more events started to happen their was less time spent on the details and it became more of a this is what happens and then this. I felt that the story would of been stronger if book one was shorter and more developed and some of the events should been carried over to the next book.
I am interested in seeing what happens with the ending we were given but i probably have to re read the last few chapters to really get what happened and where we are in the story by the time the next book comes out. It a very interesting story that is very involved and needed more developing.
