Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthia—she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph…or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.

Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trust—her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel…the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.

With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It’s time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.

Critics are raving about Laurie Forest’s incredible debut, The Black Witch:

“Forest uses a richly imagined magical world to offer an uncompromising condemnation of prejudice and injustice.” —Booklist, starred review

“Exquisite character work, an elaborate mythology, and a spectacularly rendered universe make this a noteworthy debut, which argues passionately against fascism and xenophobia.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This briskly paced, tightly plotted novel enacts the transformative power of education, creating engaging characters set in a rich alternative universe with a complicated history that can help us better understand our own.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

 

埃洛倫•嘉德納隱藏了整個厄西亞最強大的秘密--她是預言中的黑女巫,註定將得勝……或被用來當作終極的毀滅武器。
 
埃洛倫與她所愛的人分開、感到孤立無援又被追殺,她必須求助於她最不願信任的人--她的齋戒伴侶,指揮官盧卡斯•格雷。隨著嘉德尼亞的魔法大軍準備征服整個厄西亞,埃洛倫別無選擇,只能與盧卡斯結盟,並結合他們的武力,讓自己遠離嘉德納領袖馬庫斯•沃格爾……吞噬一切的暗影魔杖的主人。
 
埃洛倫只訓練了幾個禮拜就成為戰士,她無法控制魔法,她從奉命殺她的人之中找到了意外的盟友。該是她站出來反擊並在迄今為止最具破壞的損失中迅速前進的時候了。
