One by one, the magical inhabitants of Elder Valley are disappearing and it’s up to Maeve, a runaway witch with an erratic nature and dubious powers, to save them. Maeve’s been a vagabond, riding the roads with her trucker friends, but the magic she’s tried to escape for years is forcing her home. Worse, it has given her responsibility for a strange lonely witch, an impertinent little harpy, and a love-struck dragon. With an evil sorcerer’s thugs in furious pursuit, Maeve must keep her charges safe as they race across the country to save her home from death and ruin.
Lee Roland writes dark, contemporary fantasies where strong, defiant women and men battle evil. Her characters are passionate in love, savage in hatred, and defy conventional mores as they pursue justice.
What an interesting and engrossing story this was. The characters were likeable and you become invested in them easily. The story was well written and I just had to keep reading to find out what happened. The pace of the story was good - plenty of action and world building without extra non-necessary information. There was some romance but this is not a dragon romance - this was more interesting and enjoyable than just a romance book, in my opinion.
I loved this. I've read all of Lee Roland's published books and can't wait for more. Her stories always have a fresh feel to them. I've read stories of witches and dragons before but this universe is something I haven't read before. The main characters feel real and the side characters are interesting. The main plot of this story is closed but there are so many things that we don't know and are leading into the next. I can't wait.
