High in their mountain covens, red witches pray to the Goddess,
protecting the Witchlands by throwing the bones and foretelling the
future.
It's all a fake.
At least, that's what Ryder thinks. He doubts the witches really deserve
their tithes--one quarter of all the crops his village can produce. And
even if they can predict the future, what danger is there to foretell,
now that his people's old enemy, the Baen, has been defeated?
But when a terrifying new magic threatens both his village and the
coven, Ryder must confront the beautiful and silent witch who holds all
the secrets. Everything he's ever believed about witches, the Baen,
magic and about himself will change, when he discovers that the
prophecies he's always scorned--
Are about him.
