From the Romantic Book of the Year winner comes this third spellbinding instalment in the sweet paranormal ONDINE quadrilogy. Events take a dark turn, as the country of Brugel descends into anarchy. Mutating magic is spreading across Europe like a plague. 'Normals' are developing supernatural powers at a startling rate, and sixteen-year-old Ondine appears to be at the heart of it. To unravel the mystery, Ondine and her boyfriend Hamish infiltrate CovenCon, a gathering of hundreds of witches presided over by wanna-be-witch-queen Mrs Howser. There she tempts Ondine with an intriguing offer - but can Mrs Howser be trusted? As dark magic riots break out in the nation's capital, Ondine is left with a heart-breaking choice that could tear her apart from her beloved Hamish . . . forever.
The third installment in the madness and mayhem of Ondine's life. The battle for power between Lord Vincent and Duchess Anathea continues, exacerbated by more than a little magic mayhem. The citizens of Bruegel discover what happens when their wishes come true as Ondine and Hamish are torn apart. Another fun and light read for the young reader and the young at heart. This reader particularly loves the clever and witty footnotes to explain life in Bruegel. Read Books 1 and 2 first...
Nothing's ever simple for Ondine, who is now sucked into the politics of Brugel.
I love how the characters are three-dimensional, with their good and bad points. Also, the pacing's nice, with no slacking off whatsoever. Looking forward to the fourth book.
