High in their mountain covens, red witches pray to the Goddess, protecting the Witchlands by throwing the bones and foretelling the future.
But it’s all 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.
My opinion:
Weird is the only word that describes this book. I had been waiting to read it for months, almost a year. Then, pow! The book started out slow, but I trudged through and came to see the beautiful writing within. The book is told in 2 pov's- Ryders and Falpian. The connection of why their 2 pov's is lost on you until around Part3 when the characters figure it out themselves, but you kinda guess. I was hooked with this book, even though it was a little weird and started off slow. I hope its a series, because the book ended at a small cliffhanger.
