WITCH'S JOURNEY by KAREN MCCULLOUGH
|
SummaryWhen Jinissa uses magic to save a child from a bad fall,
she reveals herself as both a Calavrian witch and a spy.
In
the land of Lendiil magic is regarded as evil and its
practicers as hopelessly corrupt. Jinny is convicted of
witchcraft and condemned to torture and death. Before the sentence can be carried out, however, a
delegate
from the king arrives, announcing that the king wants to
question the witch himself. Lord Stephan has been sent to
fetch the witch. A long trip over the mountains gives
Jinny
and Stephan time to get to know each other better. In the
face of all the things that should keep them apart,
including Stephan's deep and well-founded hatred for her
people, they begin to learn the truth about each other and
fall in love. Stephan is an honorable man, loyal to his king, and his
feelings for Jinny will cause only conflict. And Jinny,
for
her part, is determined to escape during the trip, because
she's sworn to keep her people's secrets, even though her
background ensures that she will never be welcome back in
her own country. With so much to keep them apart, is there
any chance for Stephan and Jinny to find happiness
together?
