The Inheritance (Of Blood And Witchfire Book 1)
About
She inherited more than a key. She woke a curse.
When Maja Werner returns to her grandmother’s forgotten village beneath Łysa Góra, all she wants is silence – not secrets. But the iron key she carries unlocks something older than blood, older than the Church.
Something watching her.
Something bound to him.
Artur Wejchert is no ordinary man. He’s a strzygoń – revenant, guardian, curse. Now that she’s stirred the ancestral magic buried in the soil, their fates are bound by forces neither can escape.
To survive, Maja must claim the witchfire in her blood –
and decide if she can trust the monster who haunts her steps.
Praise for this book
I absolutely love this book! Here's what I love: The writing is exquisite - lyrical and descriptive but it doesn't turn into purple prose. The writing style is magical. My second love: the setting - Poland, which here in the U.S. isn't a setting we see often. It's nice to venture into other cultures, especially those we aren't familiar with. My second favorite setting is grandmother's magical house. My third love: the main characters, Maja and Artur. It's refreshing to have a writer take an alternate approach to how these two characters first meet and interact. Most writers would do the hate-each-other approach but not this writer. Here the two characters meet on friendly terms, Maja has her suspicions about him but she doesn't keep him away or fall madly in love; their relationship starts slow and courteous. And the fourth love: the story line, which you have to experience. I am beyond happy that I picked this book to read. I love supernatural, magical stories.
