My Musing:
Mother's Curse by Thaddeus Novak
About Mother’s Curse…
Tradition holds that a mother who commits a sin against the gods will have a daughter who is born a witch. Stephenie is just such a curse. Despised by her mother, she longs to be with her father and older brother, but they are two countries away, fighting a war against invaders from across the sea. Locked in Antar Castle and cut off from the outside world, the youngest Princess of Cothel must escape and overcome her mother’s plots which threaten to bring down the country as well as end her life.
However, to do so, she might have to rely upon her hidden powers, risking others discovering she is a witch…a risk that would most certainly result in her death by burning.
With the help of a select group of soldiers and an unexpected ally, she just might survive to learn the truth about her magic as she races across the country to save her family and the country she loves.
Daughter's Justice by Thaddeus Novak
Stephenie has revealed to the world that she is a witch!
The faithful followers of Felis and the other gods are now demanding that she be burned to prevent the spread of the demon god’s evil. However, another voice is rising up, declaring that she has already been cleansed of Elrin’s influence and that she is chosen by the gods; it is a claim Stephenie detests.
To make matters worse, her brother, who by rights of succession is now King, lacks the funds to pay his soldiers and keep control of Cothel. Their mother, having fled to Kynto with the treasury and war supplies, has emboldened some of the dukes and many of the barons to demand more control of the country in exchange for their support.
Can Stephenie avoid the fires of the followers of Felis and people she once called friend or will their claims of righteous anger overwhelm her support? And even if she avoids being burned alive, will her presence simply be the catalyst that plunges Cothel into a civil war?
I’m going to be starting those books today and I can’t wait to get into Them. I am part of the upcoming tour for Mother’s Curse Via Novel Publicity and will be posting my review, May 20th, on Growing Up Little. There will be lots of great prizes as part of this tour, so keep an eye out for it! I would love to see one of my readers and/or commenters to WIN one of the big prizes that are available.
