    About this ebook

    Her darkest dreams are coming true 

    In Tudor England, 1555, Meg Lytton has learned how powerful her magick gift can be. But danger surrounds her and her mistress, the outcast Princess Elizabeth. Nowhere is safe in the court of Elizabeth's fanatical sister, Queen Mary. And as the Spanish Inquisition's merciless priests slowly tighten their grip on the court, Meg's very dreams are disturbed by the ever-vengeful witchfinder Marcus Dent. 

    Even as Meg tries to use her powers to find guidance, something evil arises, impervious to Meg's spells and hungry to control England's fate. As Meg desperately tries to keep her secret betrothed, the Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, out of harm's way, caution wars with their forbidden desire. And with her most powerful enemy poised to strike, Meg's only chance is a heartbreaking sacrifice.

      "Well, you may not have noticed this, but I'm not very good at being good."This is the second book in the Tudor Witch Trilogy, we pick up right where we left off from Witchstuck. Lady Elizabeth along with Meg Lytton and their spiritual advisor, Alejandro are installed in the treacherous court of Queen Mary and King Philip while the Queen awaits the birth of her child. The Spanish Inquisition is going strong and not even those at Court are safe. Meg and Alejandro must also keep their betrothal hidden since Meg was accused of Witchcraft once already. Fear rises as the Queen's pregnancy is elongated, the Inquisition comes into Lady Elizabeth's chambers for evidence in conspiring with John Dee, Meg keeps thinking that she sees Marcus Dent in the form of a rat and a suspicious shadow keeps appearing ever since Meg conjured the spirit of Lady Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn. This is another action-packed and suspenseful installment of the Tudor Witch Trilogy. More emphasis is placed on Meg, her powers and her relationship with Alejandro in this book. We get to see Meg's powers grow, even though I didn't think it was too smart to keep practicing her powers at court with the Inquisition going on. There is less history in this book, for any fans of Tudor Court life, but the history that is there goes along with what happened; Mary was believed to be pregnant and close to the time she should have delivered, Elizabeth was recalled to court. King Philip was also rumored to have plans to wed Elizabeth if Mary died in childbirth. After it was determined that Queen Mary would not deliver a child, Elizabeth was released to Hatfield House. Once at Hatfield House in Witchfall, the attention is turned towards Meg and her powers. The strange shadow is still lurking and is now visible to Elizabeth. We also find out more of the history of Marcus Dent from the wonderful character of John Dee and his apprentice, Robert. This information leads Meg and Alejandro down a dangerous path that will lead to a spectacular ending. I can't wait to see what happens next with the restoration of Kat to Elizabeth's household. This book was provided for free in return for an honest review.
