A witch who demands humanity.
The immortal families who denied her of it.
Two mortals commanded to right the wrong.
That is the fate of the urban princess Anasztasia and the renegade prince Matthias, born shockingly mortal to two immortal families. If they go back in time and restore the witch’s humanity, she will grant them immortality. She will also break a 550 year-old curse that imprisons Matthias’s family in their ancestral homeland and exiles Anasztasia’s family from it.
But to make their lives their own, the heirs must return to the most dangerous day in their families’ past, Easter Sunday, 1457. This is the day Vlad III, aka Dracula, massacred all nobles and their families involved in the death of his father and older brother.
How can Anasztasia and Matthias reverse the past when their families will not speak of their wrongs? How can they refuse when the witch owns their lives?
The Witch’s Salvation is a time-travel fantasy weaved around myth, historical fact, and a whole lot of creative license.
My Thoughts:
Do you ever have those times where you have read so many books that you sort of get into a slump and you fear picking up another book because while you liked the last few you’ve been reading, you feel like you’ve been missing what you
really
like to read?
No? Just me?
That is where I have been. I love reviewing the books and being a part of the books tours, but the last few books haven’t been
my
types of reads.
They have been good books, but not my norm. So I was thrilled when I picked up
The Witch’s Salvation
and immediately was drawn in.
I couldn’t put this book down! I stayed up far too late reading this into the early hours of morning because I just couldn’t put it down.
It was suspenseful, it was romantic, it was mythical.
There really are no other words to describe the book without sharing to much information and ruining it, but it was present day, time travel, royalty, immortals, witches, and curses.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dramatics, romance and myth.
