The Sorceress: Witches of Orkney, Book 5

The Witches of Orkney #5

by Alane Adams

As Abigail embarks on her third year at the Tarkana Academy, the coven is under a dark cloud: their coven leader, Madame Hestera, has fallen under a deadly curse and Anarae, a powerful High Witch, has taken over the coven. Worse, Abigail fears that Abignus, the malignant presence that once took possession of her, has moved on to Calla.

While Hugo and Abigail seek answers, a surprising ally appears in Endera, Abigail's long-time nemesis. Endera has sworn to help bring Hestera back, and now she must rely on Abigail to protect her from witchlings who want revenge and from the dark forces working to tear the coven apart.

As clues surface that Anarae may not be a Tarkana witch at all but a powerful sorceress from a far-off realm, Abigail and Endera become stuck in the Netherworld. While they encounter the nightmarish beings that dwell there, Hugo is left in the dire position of facing Anarae on his own. Will Abigail and her companions stave off disaster one more time? Or does this spell the end of Orkney forever? Join Hugo and Abigail in their final adventure in the stunning conclusion to the Witches of Orkney series.

About the author

"Dear Readers: I wrote the Legends of Orkney series for my twelve-year-old son who challenged me to write something he would enjoy reading. The Red Sun is filled with exciting characters who struggle to find their true path. Sam learns so much about his past and how to overcome his anger, but will he continue to use his power for good or will he be drawn to the dark side? I hope you enjoy reading the Legends of Orkney series as much as I enjoyed writing them for you. The picture book series are dedicated to my father, the original Coal Thief! Keep reading!" - Alane Adams


Alane Adams grew up in an old Quaker town called Whittier in Southern California. Adams attended Whittier High School and was active in every possible sport including basketball (proudly claiming the nickname Breakaway Adams!) and swimming and diving. For college, Alane attended the University of Southern California where she wanted to be an English major, but family convinced her to become an accountant to help run a family business. After spending the next few decades helping to build one of the largest recycling companies on the West Coast, Alane left the family business behind to pursue her writing career. Before launching into writing full-time, Alane began teaching full-time at a local university. Finally, the Legends of Orkney series was born when her then 12-year-old son challenged Alane to write a book he could read. She hasn't stopped writing since that day.

Alane's favorite books include any story involving folklore, fantasy and fairytales. When Alane is not writing or teaching, she is hanging out with her three boys, each who have grown up having adventures to rival those of her characters.

Reviews

I had received an ARC from the author. Am this review is that of my own.

I am sad to see this series come to a end. I will always want more adventures with Abigail and Hugo. The Sorceress is all about fighting for what’s right and coming as one.

I hope one day Endera realizes her fatal mistake in wanting more magic/power will be her down fall.

I think the coven sees the good that Abigail has. Abigail has proven herself so many times and I think it’s about time she has a break from the torment her fellow witchlings put her through.

Greed is a powerful and blinding enemy. Those who made mistakes should be forgiven. And sometimes you have to put aside your difference for the greater good.

I can’t believe the series is over! It was everything I needed!
