In the conclusion of The Witch Hunter series we find Elizabeth hiding in Harrow from Lord Blackwell, the new King of Anglia. Unfortunately out of sight is not out of mind and both the denizens of Harrow and Elizabeth are only to aware that time is running out for them. The magic that protects Harrow is being infiltrated and everyone is in danger. When an attack is aimed at Elizabeth at her hearing a new truth is revealed, there is a traitor amongst them.
Blackwell is preparing to launch a war against all those who oppose him and Elizabeth has become more important to him then ever for she possesses something that is integral to his thirst for power. What Blackwell doesn't realize is that Elizabeth is no longer the one he seeks and with the need to keep her secret safe and destroy Blackwell, she cannot let herself give in to weakness of body or mind. As she strives to overcome the distrust of those she once persecuted she comes to realize that no matter what she does it can never make up for her past and as John begins to slip away from her she is faced with the only reality she can grasp. She must be what she was trained to be, manipulative, a liar, a killer.
Elizabeth is a full fledged character whose sharp edges are blunted by the fears, hopes, and delusions that we all share. The story line is well developed and full of surprise twists that will make your breath hitch and your heart pound.Each page will entice you further until you realize that Boecker must be a witch herself to ensnare you so deeply in this story.
“I think, in time, you’ll either be my greatest mistake or my greatest victory.”
This is definitely a victory and quite frankly I find myself wishing for once that this was at least a trilogy because when you find a series this good you just don't want to let it go.
