Overview :
Your greatest enemy isn't what you fight, but what you fear.
Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake.
Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that's been laid upon him.
But Nicholas and his followers know nothing of Elizabeth's witch hunting past--if they find out, the stake will be the least of her worries. And as she's thrust into the magical world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and one all-too-handsome healer, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.
My Review :
***** 5 STARS *****
Oh, Virginia Boecker, what have you done to me? You've positively ruined the rest of my 2015. How ever shall I continue to read books knowing that I'll forever be comparing them to the absolute epicness of 'The Witch Hunter'?
This book is beyond phenomenal. The characters are rich and diverse with just enough dark to make them irresistible. The plot is thickly woven with magic, adventure, betrayal, love and of course, a true rebellion with a cause.
This book has made it onto my favorites list and Ms. Boecker has quickly climbed to the top of my new favorite authors list.
I'm absolutely thrilled to have discovered her writing and cannot wait to read more from her.
