    About this audiobook

    The New York Times bestselling series!

    Her world-altering secret can't be hidden much longer. Prepare to be spellbound by the third book in The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed fantasy author Laurie Forest.

    Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthia—she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph…or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.

    Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trust—her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel…the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.

    With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It’s time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.

    Critics are raving about Laurie Forest’s incredible debut, The Black Witch:

      Oh. My. Gawd. That ending. !!!! The only reason I’m taking a star off is bc the writing style switched from only first person to being first AND third person in this book. (I personally struggle w third person so this was a challenge for me) outside of that THIS WAS SO GOOD! There was so much action and angst and character growth and heartbreak. Gods I gotta start the next book RIGHT NOW. read this series. 10/10
