Through Greg
Sky’s magnificent storytelling, we are taken back to the dawn
of mankind and led on a journey through the ages told from the
perspective of some of the most beautiful, intelligent and
cunning women ever portrayed. As the story unfolds, we are
swept up in the wonderful yet sometimes troubled world of a
very special and mostly misunderstood group of women: witches.
From the early
days of civilization and down through the turbulent mists of
time, the experiences and challenges particular to the
witches’ lifestyle are faithfully recorded in a series of
tomes which outline the story of their craft for the
generations of witches who come after, and keep the candle
flickering in the darkness so it will, one day, become a fire.
For thousands of
years, female witches have ruled and led the families that
make up the Order. As we witness the births, lives and deaths
of witch Queens and their families, the furious and courageous
battles with witch hunters, both ancient and modern, rage on
while the mysterious Others watch from the shadows, also
poised for battle. Shrouded by their thin cloaks of normalcy,
we share with the witches the pain of loss and the joys of
friendship and love. Carmenica, the wise and powerful Mother
of the Order of the Books, keeps watch over her families and
records it all. But now a new witch hunter, a new menace,
threatens the integrity and stability of this age-old Order –
Marco. And he is one of their own.
Born to the
exiled and embittered sister of a Witch queen, Marco is one of
the most powerful men ever known. Driven by his thirst for
vengeance and power, Marco and his supporters stalk and hunt
the witch dynasty, scheming and plotting ways in which to
wrest the throne for himself. He will stop at nothing to
achieve his aim – not even murder.
Marco draws ever
closer in his quest to drive the once close-knit witch
families apart. With no Witch Queen on the throne and the
Order factionalized and in disarray, Marco believes his time
is near. But he has not counted on the hidden legacy left by
one of his victims – a legacy that will ultimately decide the
course of the witches’ future. Blood spills, family is pitched
against family and ancient traditions are overthrown as the
fate of the witches’ throne, the ultimate prize, is contested
in a battle that will leave you spellbound.
Tightly woven
and wrapped in layers of mystery and intrigue, Greg Sky writes
with compelling skill and authenticity as the story unfolds
and fantasy becomes reality. At times sensitive and romantic,
but also cold and hard, Witches’ Blood is a stunning epic that
will stir the imagination of millions.
