About the Book:
He
was her enemy and her lover…
As
Cedric fights battles down south, Rowena unwittingly rides into an enemy war
camp and is taken prisoner by her old friend Lars, who is not what he
seems.
Yet
Rowena is not helpless. After all, she is a hereditary half-witch with a whole
lot of magic in her. Too bad she doesn’t
know how to use it. Escaping from the camp, she continues to botch up spell
after spell. Soon Kendra joins her on the trek back to Huel, along with the
latest magical mistake, a flame-burping dragon called Cinders.
When
war comes to Land’s End, it brings the one man who threatens to conquer everything in Huel, including
Rowena’s heart. Now she has to make the biggest decision of her life. Will she
return through the wall to safety in Arizona? Or will she stay in Land’s End
for good, and fight to save her people from the
Viking Warlord?

Review
4/5
This was very interesting book. So Rowena is a half witch who does not know what she is doing. She was not taught how to use her magic before her mother died. She spends the whole time trying to help with magic, but keeps screwing up. She makes a huge mistake by turning back time to fix a mistake she made. Now she has to deal with the consequences.
I liked that Rowena was a newbie with magic. It made her seem more real. While she tried hard to be helpful, she kept messing up. But no matter what she didn't give up. She wanted to help everyone and kept trying. It was a good book.
Book Excerpt:
My name is Rowena Revel and I am the last hereditary witch of
Land's End.
Unfortunately, I'm not a very good one.
The trouble is, I have a magic bracelet but no idea how to
use it. My mother died before she could teach me. And it won't come off. Spells
are a matter of trial and error, so the outcomes are rather sketchy.
I honestly didn't mean to conjure up that Roman Legion in
mid-battle.
And apparently I screwed things up by moving back time.
Val, my wizard friend, told me there would be a price to pay
for messing with dark magic. But I had to stop the pending war. Thane and
Cedric were about to kill each other. Things were so desperate I couldn't wait
to find out the penalty.
So I went ahead and used dark magic to turn back time. Now I
was finding out how steep that price would be.
