The book arrived in very poor and well used condition. I had chosen a like new choice on the order. I was very disappointed with the condition of the book.

I just dont understand all the bad feedback on this series of books,I loved everything about these books,I think Jude did a great job on them.And should have recived tons of 5 stars for these intertaining books in this series! LOVED THEM!

This is the very first book I read by Deveraux.I have since then read almost all of her books.Most being enjoyable.I just loved this book.Adam Montgomery is such a hunk.Of coarse Jude fans what montgomery isn't.Darcey was very intersting and funny.The first of a trilogy

This trilogy takes you into another world. Whike the first book is the best one, you still have to read the entire trilogy to experience all the magic this story has to offer. The books start out slow, but become hard to put down once you get into them.

Adam Montgomery, at age three, was kidnapped by a powerful witch and branded. However, the witch was after his sister and when she realized her mistake, she locked Adam in a metal box to be disposed later. But Adam escaped. Unfortunately, his mother, who was then pregnant with his sister, was captured along with his father. The witch murdered them both; the mother disposed of later after she had the baby.

Adam spends the rest of his life recovering from his ordeal and then decides to do something about it. He intends to do away with the witch, find his sister, and find out what happened to his parents.

With the help of a powerful clairvoyant, Adam hires Darci T. Monroe, a girl of, seemingly, no consequence with an air of innocence and naivety about her. But she isn't what she seems, for Darci has a very powerful psychic ability that will help Adam get rid of the witch and unravel the mystery to his parents' deaths.

I'm not sure I liked this book. The plot line was a bit far-fetched and not very believable. However, Darci is a fun character and it's hard not to like her. But there is a childishness about her that can grate on your nerves.

I'm a big fan of Ms Deveraux and despite this how weak this story is it won't dampen my enthusiasm for her works.
